Do I need any prior art experience to join the retreat workshop?

Absolutely! Our creative retreats in Santa Marta are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists break down the process into easy-to-follow steps, starting with basic spray can control and moving into layering and shading. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, even if you’ve never touched a can of paint before. It’s all about the experience and having fun!

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything you need for a stress-free creative session. This includes high-quality spray cans in a wide range of vibrant colours, caps/nozzles for different effects, protective coveralls, gloves, and high-quality masks to ensure your safety. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. Just bring yourself, some comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, and your creative energy!

Can the retreat workshop be held at my own accommodation?

We are very flexible! While we have amazing outdoor spots in Santa Marta that capture the city's coastal vibe, we can also bring the retreat to your villa, hotel, or private event space. We use protective floor coverings and pop-up walls or canvases to ensure we leave your venue exactly as we found it. Whether it's a beachside garden or a chic rooftop, we make the magic happen wherever you are.

Is graffiti painting safe for everyone involved?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade filtered masks and gloves to all participants. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large open spaces. Our artists are trained to supervise the session closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and safely. We want you to focus on the art while we handle the technical safety aspects of the spray painting process.

How long does a typical Santa Marta graffiti retreat session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of your large-scale artwork. We don't like to rush the creative process, as we want you to soak in the Santa Marta atmosphere while you paint. If you have a specific schedule in mind, we can always customise the duration to fit your itinerary.

What is your booking and cancellation policy?

We understand that travel plans can change. That's why we offer a 'pay after' policy, meaning no upfront payment is required to secure your booking. You can settle the balance once the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have a network of backup artists ready to step in, so you never have to worry about a cancellation on our end. Your creative retreat is in safe hands!

Local culture

Santa Marta isn't just South America's oldest city; it's a living gallery where colonial history meets modern urban expression. From the colorful murals of Calle 12 to the hidden artistic gems tucked away in the Bolivariano district, the city's street art scene is booming. Our retreats draw inspiration from the local "Costeño" culture—expect bright palettes inspired by tropical fruits, local wildlife like the toucan, and the deep blues of the nearby Tayrona Park. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that many street artists in Santa Marta use their work to tell the story of the indigenous groups of the Sierra Nevada? It’s more than just paint; it’s a visual history book! 🏆
