Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our workshops are specifically designed for beginners. Most of our participants in Santa Marta have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. We provide a supportive, judgement-free environment where you can experiment, make mistakes, and ultimately create something you're genuinely proud of. You'll be surprised at what you can achieve in just a few hours.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. The spray paints we use are professional-grade but handled with strict safety protocols. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the pop-up location is well-ventilated, usually taking advantage of the beautiful Santa Marta breeze to keep the air fresh while we work.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy. Since Santa Marta is quite warm, lightweight fabrics are best. Also, don't forget your sunglasses and sunscreen if we are hosting the event in an outdoor space near the coast!

How long does a typical pop-up session last?

Our pop-up events in Santa Marta generally last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe includes the initial introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' that allows for plenty of creative flow without getting too tired. If you have a specific schedule or a larger group, we can certainly adjust the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

Can you host the workshop at my specific location?

We are very flexible! Our pop-up model is designed to work in various locations, from beach clubs and hostel rooftops to private patios. If you have a specific venue in mind in Santa Marta, we can usually make it work. If not, we have a network of local partners and can suggest the perfect spot for your group. We just need a well-ventilated area and permission to set up our mobile cling-film walls or canvases.

What happens if I need to cancel or if it rains?

We understand that plans can change, especially when travelling. That's why we offer a no-upfront-payment policy—you only pay after the workshop is complete and you're satisfied. If you need to cancel or reschedule your Santa Marta event, we just ask for as much notice as possible so we can reassign our artists. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead even if an emergency arises.

Local culture

Santa Marta isn't just about the stunning beaches of Tayrona; it's a city alive with colour and history. The local street art scene has exploded in recent years, with murals reflecting the indigenous cultures of the Sierra Nevada and the tropical biodiversity of the coast. Our workshops tap into this local energy, often drawing inspiration from the bright facades of the Centro Histórico. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Santa Marta is the oldest surviving city in Colombia? While the history is ancient, the street art is cutting-edge, creating a beautiful contrast that you'll see reflected in the works of local 'grafiteros' across the city. 🏆

Pricing

Our graffiti experiences are tailored to your specific needs, whether it's a small group of friends or a major brand event. Prices in Santa Marta typically range from:

The final price depends on the number of participants, the duration of the workshop, and any specific custom elements you'd like to include. We believe in total transparency and satisfaction—that's why you pay only after the workshop is complete! 🔥
