Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority, especially with younger children. We use low-odour spray paint specifically designed for art projects, and every student is provided with professional-grade protective gear, including gloves, masks, and overalls. Our expert instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone even touches a can, ensuring a controlled, supervised, and totally safe environment for all primary school ages.

Can the workshop take place on our school grounds?

We are very flexible! Most primary schools in Santa Marta prefer us to come to them. We can set up temporary 'graffiti walls' (using large plastic sheets or plywood) in your schoolyard or sports hall. If you'd rather take the kids on a field trip, we can also arrange for the workshop to take place at some of our partner legal street art spots around the city.

Do the students need any prior drawing or painting skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed to be accessible for everyone, regardless of their artistic background. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create simple shapes. Our professional artists are there to guide every student through the process so that everyone, from the budding Picasso to the absolute beginner, goes home with something they are proud of.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to street art history, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the creation of their final masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into your school's specific timetable or split the groups across a full school day.

What materials do we need to provide for the workshop?

We provide absolutely everything! This includes premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective clothing (overalls and gloves), respiratory masks, and the surface they will be painting on—whether that’s individual canvases for the kids to keep or a large communal mural for the school. All you need to provide is a group of excited students ready to get creative!

How do you handle bookings and payments for schools?

We understand that school budgets can be tight. That’s why we offer a flexible pricing model based on group size. The more students take part, the lower the cost per child. We also don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go, so your event is never at risk of cancellation.

What happens to the artwork once the workshop is over?

If you choose our mural-style workshop, the students can work together to create a lasting piece of art on a designated school wall or a large plywood board that can be mounted in the hallway. If you prefer individual work, each child can paint their own canvas or piece of street art to take home and show their family. It’s a fantastic way to display school pride!

Safety First: Every student gets suited up in protective gear and learns the essential 'do's and don'ts' of using spray cans safely.
The Art of the Tag: Students practice 'tagging'—creating their own unique signature or nickname using professional markers or spray paint.
Mastering the Can: Our instructors demonstrate spray techniques, including how to create thin lines, thick fills, and cool fading effects.
Sketching the Vision: Before the paint flies, kids sketch out their ideas on paper to plan their colours and shapes.
First Layers: The students hit the wall or canvas, applying their base colours and getting a feel for the scale of their work.
Adding Detail: With the help of our artists, the kids add highlights, shadows, and outlines to make their graffiti pop.
The Big Reveal: We finish with a 'gallery walk' where the class admires each other's work and discusses the creative choices they made.
Clean-up & Wrap-up: We ensure the area is spotless and the kids leave with a massive smile and a new sense of artistic confidence.

Local culture

Santa Marta isn't just about the stunning beaches and the Sierra Nevada; it's a city pulsating with Caribbean colour and history. The local street art scene has exploded in recent years, with murals reflecting the indigenous cultures of the Tayrona and the vibrant tropical flora of the region. By bringing a graffiti workshop to your primary school, you’re connecting your students with this modern local heritage.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Santa Marta is the oldest surviving city in South America? It’s a place where ancient history meets modern urban expression, making it the perfect backdrop for a street art adventure! 🏛️✨

Whether your school is located in the bustling heart of town or closer to the quiet foothills of Minca, we bring the tools and the talent to inspire the next generation of Samario artists. We love incorporating local themes—like the Caribbean sea or the snowy peaks—into our workshops to make the experience truly personal to Santa Marta.

We believe every child should have access to the arts, which is why we offer competitive tiered pricing for schools in Santa Marta. Our rates are all-inclusive, covering all materials and travel costs within the city.

Estimated price per student: $100.000 - $250.000 COP
