Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Our workshops are designed for everyone! You don't need any prior drawing or painting skills to enjoy this cultural event in Santa Marta. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to layering colours. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It's all about having fun and expressing your unique personality through street art!

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy, and spray paint is notoriously permanent! Flat, closed-toe shoes are also a must for safety and stability while you work on your mural. Think 'festival-ready' attire that allows you to move freely while you create!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including professional-grade masks to ensure you aren't breathing in paint fumes, as well as gloves and overalls. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We use high-quality spray paint and ensure our workshop locations in Santa Marta have adequate ventilation or are situated in beautiful outdoor spaces.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Standard cultural event workshops in Santa Marta typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of the art form, practice basic techniques, and complete a final group project or individual canvases. If you have specific time constraints for your event, just let us know! We can customise the duration to fit your schedule perfectly without rushing the creative process.

Is this workshop suitable for children?

Absolutely! Our workshops are incredibly popular for kids' parties, school trips, and family outings. We use age-appropriate techniques and ensure the environment is safe and engaging for younger creators. It’s a fantastic way for children to develop their motor skills and express their creativity in a bold, colourful way. We tailor the complexity of the designs based on the age group attending the session.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Santa Marta is tropical, so we always have a plan! If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and it looks like rain, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor studio space. Our team is flexible and experienced in managing South American weather shifts. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead exactly as planned, rain or shine.

Do I need to pay in advance for the event?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront! You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This ensures you can book with total confidence. We accept various payment methods and will provide a clear invoice once your creative session in Santa Marta is finished.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes! Depending on the format of the workshop, you will either take home an individual canvas you've painted or, for group murals, we can arrange for high-resolution photos of the final piece. If you're painting on a shared wall, the memory and the photos last a lifetime. Many participants love taking their custom-made canvases home as a unique souvenir of their time in Santa Marta.

Local culture

Santa Marta isn't just about white sand and turquoise water; it is a city with a deep, pulsing heart of street culture. From the narrow colonial streets of the Centro Histórico to the vibrant walls of Taganga, graffiti here tells the story of Colombia’s journey, its nature, and its people. The local street art scene is heavily influenced by the lush greenery of the Sierra Nevada and the indigenous Tayrona culture, often blending ancient symbols with modern spray paint techniques. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Santa Marta is the oldest surviving city in Colombia? This creates a stunning contrast where centuries-old architecture meets the fresh, neon energy of the local graffiti artists. Our workshops often draw inspiration from the diverse local wildlife—so don't be surprised if you find yourself painting a technicolour toucan or a stylised palm tree! 🦜
