Do we need any previous artistic experience for the retreat?

Absolutely! Most of our retreat participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. We focus on the 'creative flow' and the joy of expression rather than technical perfection. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the vibrant piece you've created together with your team.

Is the graffiti workshop safe and what gear is provided?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone safe and clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone picks up a can, ensuring a worry-free environment where you can focus entirely on your creative breakthrough.

How long does a typical retreat workshop last?

Our retreat workshops in Cartagena typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the timing to fit into your broader retreat schedule, whether you want a quick energiser or a deep-dive afternoon of collaborative painting.

Where in Cartagena do the workshops take place?

We love the 'Getsemaní' vibes! We usually host our workshops at inspiring outdoor locations or creative hubs that reflect Cartagena's street art soul. If you've already booked a specific villa or boutique hotel for your retreat, we can often bring the workshop to you, provided there is a suitable outdoor space with plenty of ventilation.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor session?

In Cartagena, we always keep an eye on the tropical sky. If a quick shower pops up, we usually wait it out under cover—they rarely last long! However, we always aim to have a 'Plan B' covered area available. If the weather truly doesn't play ball, our backup artist system ensures we can reschedule or find an alternative indoor-friendly creative solution.

What are the payment terms for a group booking?

We are totally flexible. Unlike many providers, we don't require upfront payments to secure your date. You can pay after the workshop once you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods, though local currency (COP) is preferred for on-site settlements. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as your Caribbean retreat.

Can we incorporate our company branding into the artwork?

Yes, street art is a fantastic way to explore corporate identity. We can pre-sketch your company logo or retreat theme onto the canvas, allowing your team to fill it with colour and style. It’s a powerful way to visualize your company values or goals. Many groups take their finished canvases back to the office as a permanent reminder of their Cartagena breakthrough.

The collaborative flow: Work together as a team, moving across the mural to ensure the entire piece feels cohesive and energetic.

Local culture

Cartagena is a city that breathes art. From the iconic murals of Getsemaní to the hidden gems in the San Diego neighbourhood, the city is a living gallery. Our workshops tap into this local 'costeño' spirit, drawing inspiration from the bright colours of the Palenqueras and the rhythmic energy of Champeta music. We don't just teach you graffiti; we connect you with the heart of Colombian street culture. 🇨🇴

Fun Fact: The Getsemaní district was once a gritty suburb, but it transformed into a global street art destination thanks to local residents using murals to tell their stories and reclaim their heritage!
