Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Cartagena onboarding workshop is designed specifically for beginners. We start with the very basics, from how to hold the spray can to mastering different nozzle types (caps). Our pro artists guide you through every line and shadow. By the end of the session, you’ll be amazed at the masterpiece you’ve created, even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep your clothes and skin safe from paint. That said, graffiti can be a bit messy, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'stardust' on. It’s all part of the authentic street art experience in Cartagena!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all necessary safety equipment, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks. Our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure a safe environment for everyone. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor locations to ensure plenty of fresh air while we work on our murals.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Standard workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the final creation of your own graffiti piece. If you have a specific schedule or want a more intensive deep-dive into Colombian street art culture, we can certainly adjust the duration to fit your group's needs perfectly.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible! We host everything from intimate bookings for 2-4 people to large-scale corporate onboarding events for 100+ participants. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal guidance and hands-on time with the cans. No matter the size of your squad, we make sure the energy stays high.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain is rare in the 'Heroic City', but we always have a plan B! We either use covered outdoor spaces or have backup indoor locations where we can work on large canvases instead of walls. Plus, with our 'No Artist Cancellation' policy, you can rest easy knowing that your creative session will go ahead as planned, rain or shine.

Do I need to pay in advance?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our trust in you. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your Cartagena workshop. You can settle the payment after the workshop is finished and you’re 100% happy with the experience. We accept various payment methods to make the process as smooth as your new spray-painting skills!

The experience

Why should you choose a graffiti experience in the 'Heroic City'? It’s more than just painting; it’s about connection, expression, and pure adrenaline. Here is why our workshop is a must-do:

Unlock hidden talents: Most people are shocked at how quickly they pick up the 'can-control' basics with our pros 🎨.
Authentic local vibes: Learn the slang, the styles, and the stories behind Colombia’s massive street art movement.
Stress-busting fun: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the 'hiss' of a spray can and the bold flow of colour.
Epic photo ops: Your Instagram feed will thank you—nothing says 'Cartagena adventure' like posing with your own mural.
Total peace of mind: With our 'pay later' policy and pro safety standards, you can just focus on the creativity 🏆.

It's the perfect way to kick off your trip or celebrate a milestone with your crew. Let's get creative!

Step by step

Warm welcome: Meet your pro artist at our vibrant street art spot and get introduced to the colourful history of Cartagena's murals.
Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suit, gloves, and mask. We'll show you how to use the equipment safely and professionally.
The basics: Learn about 'caps', pressure control, and how to create thin lines versus fat fills. It’s time for your first practice sprays!
Sketching your soul: Work with our artists to sketch out your design. Whether it’s a tag, a character, or a Caribbean-inspired piece, we’ll help you refine the concept.
Outline and fill: Start bringing your sketch to life on the wall. This is where you’ll learn the 'fill-in' technique to get those colours popping.
Adding the 'cool' factor: Learn how to add highlights, 3D shadows, and 'second outlines' to make your graffiti truly stand out from the background.
Mastering techniques: Try your hand at fading and colour blending to create that iconic professional street art look.
The final reveal: Step back, snap some photos of your masterpiece, and celebrate your new skills with the group!

Local culture

Cartagena isn't just about colonial balconies and ancient walls; it's a living canvas! The Getsemaní neighbourhood, in particular, has transformed into a world-class gallery where every alleyway tells a story of Colombian identity, resistance, and joy. Our workshops tap into this local energy, drawing inspiration from the tropical palettes and 'Costeño' spirit that defines the city.

Fun fact: Many murals in Cartagena feature the 'Palenqueras' (women in bright dresses with fruit baskets). During our workshop, you might learn how street artists use modern spray techniques to honour these traditional cultural icons!

By joining us, you aren't just observing the art scene; you’re becoming a part of the local creative community that keeps Cartagena’s streets so incredibly alive ✨.

Our workshop pricing is as flexible as a fresh coat of paint! We offer various packages to suit different group sizes and creative goals.

Note: Prices vary based on group size, location choice, and specific workshop requirements.
