Is the spray paint safe for participants with respiratory sensitivities?

Absolutely! We use high-quality spray paints that are low-odour and eco-friendly whenever possible. For those with sensory sensitivities, we provide full protective kits including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our artists are trained to manage the environment, ensuring the ventilation is adequate and the noise levels remain comfortable for all participants throughout the creative process in Manizales.

How do you adapt the workshop for different ability levels?

We believe street art is for everyone! Our workshops in Manizales are fully customisable to accommodate various physical, cognitive, or sensory needs. Whether it is adjusting the height of the boards for wheelchair users or using specialized caps that require less finger pressure to spray, we adapt our tools and teaching style to ensure every guest feels successful and included.

How long does a special needs graffiti session last?

The workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining engagement without causing fatigue. However, we are completely flexible; if your group needs more frequent breaks or a shorter, high-energy session to match attention spans, we will tailor the schedule to fit your specific requirements perfectly.

Do we need any prior artistic experience to participate?

Not at all! Many of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists lead the group through simple, success-oriented steps. We focus on the joy of movement and colour rather than technical perfection. From making your first 'tag' to filling in a large masterpiece, we guide you every step of the way.

What kind of venue is required for a graffiti workshop?

Ideally, we look for outdoor spaces or well-ventilated indoor halls with flat ground for accessibility. If you don't have a venue in Manizales, don't worry! We have a network of local spots and partner locations that are perfect for getting messy and creative. Just let us know your location preferences, and we will handle the logistics.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! This includes premium spray paint, a wide variety of nozzles (caps), protective clothing (masks, gloves, and suits), and the 'canvas' (which could be boards, plastic film, or a temporary wall). You just need to show up in comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case!

How do I book a session and when do I pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free. Simply fill out our contact form or use our online Cost Calculator to get an idea of the price. We don't require any payment upfront. You can discuss your group's specific needs with our team, and once you are happy with the plan, we lock in the date. You only pay after the workshop is complete!

Local culture

Manizales isn't just known for its breathtaking cathedral and world-class coffee; it's a city with a growing urban art pulse. From the colourful murals in the Chipre neighbourhood to the student-led art movements around the universities, 'La Ciudad de las Puertas Abiertas' (The City of Open Doors) truly lives up to its name when it comes to welcoming new forms of expression. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Manizales is often called the 'San Francisco of Colombia' because of its steep streets? Our workshops take advantage of this unique landscape, often finding creative spots with stunning views of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano to inspire our participants!

Bringing our inclusive graffiti sessions to this high-altitude haven allows us to tap into the local 'Manizaleño' warmth. We love integrating local symbols—like the coffee flower or the Andean condor—into our designs, ensuring our special needs programs feel deeply rooted in the local culture.

Pricing

Our inclusive workshops are priced to be accessible, with costs varying based on the group size, location, and the amount of materials needed to make your vision come to life.

Investment: $100,000 - $250,000 COP per person

We pride ourselves on transparency—no hidden fees, no upfront payments. We want to ensure this creative experience is available to as many people as possible in Manizales.
