What exactly is live painting and how does it work?

Live painting is a dynamic performance where our artists create a large-scale mural from scratch during your event in Manizales. Unlike a pre-painted piece, your guests get to see the process unfold in real-time. It provides a focal point for the venue, sparks conversation among attendees, and results in a stunning piece of art that can be kept as a permanent memento of the occasion.

Can you include our company logo or specific brand colours?

Absolutely! While we love total creative freedom, we specialise in brand-aligned art. We can incorporate your company colours, logos, specific themes, or even products into the mural. Before the event, we'll chat about your vision to ensure the final piece resonates perfectly with your brand identity while maintaining that authentic, edgy street art vibe that makes it stand out.

Is it safe to do live painting indoors? What about the fumes?

Safety is our top priority. For indoor events in Manizales, we use high-quality, low-odour, and water-based spray paints or acrylic markers to ensure there are no harsh fumes. We also bring protective floor coverings and rapid-dry materials to keep the area clean. Whether it's a hotel ballroom or a convention centre, we make sure the art happens without any mess or disruption.

How long does a typical live painting session last?

Standard live painting sessions usually last between 2 to 4 hours, which perfectly aligns with most corporate mixers or wedding receptions. However, for larger multi-day festivals or trade shows, we can arrange for an artist to work over several days. We’re flexible and can tailor the pace of the painting to match the flow and duration of your specific event.

Do I need to provide any materials for the artist?

We provide everything needed for the performance! This includes the artist, professional-grade paints, the canvas or temporary wall structure, and protective gear for the surrounding area. You don't need to worry about a thing. All we require from you is a designated space to work and, depending on the venue, some basic lighting so the guests can see the masterpiece coming to life.

Can guests interact with the artist during the performance?

Of course! In fact, we encourage it. Live painting is meant to be a spectator sport. Our artists are friendly and happy to explain their techniques, talk about the inspiration behind the work, or even let guests try a few strokes if the setup allows. It’s a fantastic way to break the ice and get people talking in a relaxed, creative atmosphere.

What happens if the artwork isn't finished by the end of the event?

While our artists are experts at working quickly, the complexity can vary. If the piece isn't fully finished by the time your event wraps up, we can either finish it at our studio or stay a little later to ensure it's perfect. Most of the time, we plan the design so that the 'big reveal' happens right at the peak of your event for maximum impact.

The experience

Why settle for a DJ when you can have a living, breathing transformation happening on your walls? Live painting is the ultimate icebreaker. 🎨

Instant atmosphere: The smell of the paint (don't worry, we use the safe stuff!) and the sound of the cans create an immediate "cool" factor. 🔥
Social media gold: Guests love filming the process. It's the perfect content for Instagram and TikTok, giving your event extra reach. 📸
Unique memento: You aren't just paying for a show; you end up with a high-quality piece of art for your office or home. 🏆
Customised for you: We can weave your brand story, event theme, or local Manizales landmarks into the design. 🏙️
Engagement: It bridges the gap between the audience and the artist, making art accessible and interactive! 🎉

Step by step

Initial consultation: Reach out to us with your event date and venue in Manizales. We’ll discuss your theme, brand goals, and aesthetic preferences.
Design concept: Our lead artist creates a rough sketch or mood board. This ensures we are on the same page regarding the style and motifs before the first drop of paint hits the canvas.
Logistics planning: We coordinate with your venue manager to handle floor protection, ventilation, and space requirements. No stress for you, we handle the boring bits.
Setup and prep: On the day, our team arrives early to set up the 'stage'—whether it's a large canvas, a wooden partition, or a custom structure.
The performance: As your guests arrive, the artist begins. Watch the transformation from a blank surface to a vibrant work of art.
Crowd engagement: The artist interacts with the crowd, answering questions and building excitement as the mural progresses.
The final reveal: Just as your event reaches its peak, the final touches are added. It’s a great moment for photos and social media sharing.
Post-event wrap-up: We clean up the area completely. The artwork is yours to keep, whether you want to display it in your office or auction it for charity!

Good to know

Duration: Typically 2 to 4 hours, but we can scale up for full-day festivals or multi-day trade shows.
Group size: Great for any audience size, from intimate VIP dinners to thousands of festival-goers.
Included: Professional artist, all paints (low-odour options available), canvases, and floor protection.
Safety: We use high-quality materials and follow strict safety protocols. Indoor-safe paints are always an option.
Requirements: A flat workspace (minimum 3x2 metres) and basic lighting are usually all we need!

Creative collaboration during a graffiti company outing

Local culture

Manizales, the "City of Open Doors", is famous for its stunning mountain views and the iconic Cathedral Basilica, but it also has a burgeoning urban soul. The local street art scene is growing, reflecting the city's youthful energy and academic spirit. From the colorful murals tucked away near the university districts to the steep streets of the San José neighbourhood, creativity is everywhere. 🏔️

Fun Fact: Manizales is known for its steep topography, which gives street artists unique vertical "canvases" spread across the hills. It's one of the few places where you can appreciate graffiti while looking down from a cable car! 🚠

By bringing live painting to your local event, you're tapping into this vibrant cultural movement. Whether your event is at a coffee-themed venue or a modern conference hall, we bring that authentic Manizales grit and grace to the table. ☕

Pricing

Our live painting services are as unique as your event. Prices in Manizales typically range between $100,000 COP and $250,000 COP per hour, depending on the artist's profile, the size of the canvas, and the materials required. 💰

Because every performance is bespoke, we recommend getting in touch for a tailored estimate. We work with various budgets to ensure you get the best creative bang for your buck!
