Do I need to be an artist to join a pop-up workshop?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the basics of can control, nozzle pressure, and simple outlines. By the time the music is pumping and the colours are flowing, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It is all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in the heart of Manizales.

What materials are included in the experience?

We provide everything you need to transform into a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colours, various caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gloves, masks, and overalls. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that is a dedicated wall space or individual boards. Just bring your energy and some clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our instructors are seasoned pros who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the pop-up site is well-ventilated and that everyone follows the 'Manizales Green' rules of respect and safety.

Can I book a private pop-up event for my friends or colleagues?

Yes, we love hosting private groups! Whether you are planning a unique birthday, a creative bachelor party, or a team-building day for your Manizales-based business, we can tailor the pop-up event to your needs. Group sizes can vary, and we offer flexible pricing based on how many people are joining the spray-painting revolution. Just reach out for a custom quote!

How long does a typical session last?

Most of our pop-up workshops in Manizales last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final collaborative or individual piece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where energy levels are high and everyone has enough time to really get into the flow without getting tired.

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

In the city of open doors, we try to keep our sessions running rain or shine! If the weather looks truly dire (heavy tropical rain), we usually have a backup indoor location or a covered area ready to go. Because we have a team of backup artists, we almost never cancel—we just move the party to a dry spot so the creativity can keep flowing.

Do I need to pay upfront to book a spot?

No, you don't! At Graffitifun, we believe in trust. You can book your spot or your group's event today and settle the payment after the workshop is finished. We are confident you'll have a brilliant time, and we want to make the booking process as stress-free as possible for our Manizales community. Simply get in touch to reserve your date.

Local culture

Manizales isn't just known for its breathtaking mountain views and world-class coffee; it’s a city with a rapidly growing urban art heartbeat. From the steep hills of Chipre down to the university districts, street art is becoming the visual language of the youth. Our pop-up events celebrate this local spirit, blending the traditional 'City of Open Doors' hospitality with the raw, modern energy of the street. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know that Manizales hosts several urban art festivals where local 'parceros' transform grey retaining walls into colourful stories? Our workshops often take place near these vibrant hubs to keep the inspiration flowing!

Whether you're visiting from Bogota or a local looking for something different, our Manizales sessions capture the unique 'Manizaleño' pride in every spray.
