Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our graffiti workshops in Cartagena are designed for beginners of all ages. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from holding the spray can to masterfully blending colours. You don't need any prior drawing skills—just a bit of enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you've created on the canvas.

Is the spray paint safe and do you provide protective gear?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality protective gear, including professional masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use premium spray paint and always conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a worry-free and fun environment for everyone involved.

How long does the graffiti workshop experience last?

A standard cultural event workshop typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This allows enough time for a brief history of Colombian street art, a demonstration of techniques, practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are planning a larger festival or brand activation, we can adjust the timing to fit your specific schedule and requirements.

What is the cost of a workshop in Cartagena?

The price per person generally ranges from $100,000 to $250,000 COP. This variation depends on the total number of participants, the specific location chosen, and whether you want any extra visual elements or custom materials. We aim to be transparent with our pricing, and because we don't require upfront payments, you can book with total peace of mind.

What happens if it rains on the day of our event?

Cartagena’s weather is usually sunshine-heavy, but if it rains, we have you covered. We often use sheltered outdoor spots that provide protection while maintaining the necessary ventilation. If the weather is truly extreme, our backup artist system and flexible scheduling mean we can usually rearrange at no extra cost to ensure your event goes off without a hitch.

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

Yes! While we often work on large canvases or temporary walls that stay at the venue, we offer options where participants can create their own individual canvases to take home. This makes for a fantastic, personalised souvenir of your time in Cartagena. Just let us know in advance if you’d like to include 'take-away' art as part of your package.

Where in Cartagena do the workshops take place?

We can host workshops at various vibrant spots across the city, including locations near the artsy Getsemaní district. If you have a specific private venue, hotel, or office space in mind, our mobile team can come to you. We bring all the necessary equipment, drop cloths, and materials to transform almost any space into a creative street art studio.

Local culture

Cartagena is a city of two halves: the historic walled centre and the rhythm-filled streets of Getsemaní. Our workshops draw heavy inspiration from Getsemaní, an area that transformed itself through street art. You’ll see murals depicting the 'Palenqueras' (fruit sellers) and local wildlife, telling stories of resistance and joy. When you join us, you’re not just painting; you’re joining a living tradition of Colombian muralism. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Getsemaní neighbourhood was once a no-go zone? Today, it is one of the most photographed street art districts in the world, thanks to local artists reclaiming their space with paint! 🇨🇴

Pricing

Our pricing is designed to be as flexible as our art. Depending on what you are looking for, we offer tiered packages to suit your budget:

Standard Experience: From $100,000 COP per person.
Premium Workshop (Custom Canvases): Up to $250,000 COP per person.

Because we want the best experience for your specific group, we don't do 'one size fits all' pricing. The number of participants and any extra bells and whistles will affect the final cost. Plus, you don't have to pay a penny upfront! 💸
