What should I wear to the graffiti retreat workshop?

For our creative retreat workshops in Barranquilla, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide professional-grade protective overalls and gloves to keep your outfit safe, the energetic nature of spray painting means a stray splash is always a possibility. Think relaxed, casual, and ready to get hands-on with the art.

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who haven't picked up a brush since primary school to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and moving up to complex layering. It's all about the experience, finding your flow, and enjoying the creative process in a supportive, relaxed environment.

Is the spray paint safe to use during the session?

The safety of our participants is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respirators or FFP3 masks, protective gloves, and overalls. We typically host our retreats in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large workshops with high ceilings to ensure plenty of fresh air. Our artists also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a worry-free experience for all.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough room for an introduction to street art history, a technical demonstration, plenty of practice time, and the final creation of your own masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive full-day experience, let us know, and we can customise the schedule to suit your group's needs.

What happens if we need to cancel or change our plans?

We pride ourselves on our 'no-stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. Payment is only settled after the workshop has been completed to your satisfaction. Additionally, we have a network of backup artists available, so even if an emergency arises, your event will proceed as planned. It’s all part of our commitment to professional and reliable service.

How do you handle the tropical weather in Barranquilla?

Barranquilla’s weather can be hot, but we prepared for that! We usually select shaded locations or indoor/outdoor hybrid spaces that offer protection from the sun and any unexpected tropical rain. If the weather looks particularly rough, we have indoor backup options available. We make sure the environment is comfortable so you can focus entirely on your creative output without worrying about the elements.

Can you bring the workshop to our specific retreat location?

We can certainly help with that! While many of our workshops take place at dedicated street art spots, we can also bring the retreat to your chosen villa, hotel garden, or office space within Barranquilla. We use protective floor coverings and temporary walls to ensure your venue remains spotless. Just let us know your preferred location when you request your quote, and we will make it happen.

Local culture

Barranquilla is a city that breathes colour, famously known for the Carnaval de Barranquilla, where the streets explode with life. This same spirit translates into the local street art scene. From the mural-lined walls of the Barrio Abajo to the industrial charm of the Vía 40, the city serves as a massive canvas for stories of Caribbean folklore and modern urban life. In our workshops, we tap into this 'Quilla' energy, encouraging you to incorporate the bright tropical palettes and bold patterns that define the local aesthetic. You won’t just be painting; you’ll be connecting with the pulse of one of Colombia's most creative hubs, right near the Magdalena River.

Pricing

Our workshop prices are designed to be as flexible as your creativity. Depending on your group size and the specific setup of your retreat, prices typically range between $100,000 COP and $250,000 COP per person.

We believe in total peace of mind, which is why we don't require any payment upfront. You only pay once the workshop is finished and you're happy with the result.
