Is the graffiti workshop safe for individuals with sensory sensitivities?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. For our special needs participants in Santa Marta, we use low-odour, water-based spray paint options whenever possible to ensure a comfortable breathing environment. Our artists are trained to supervise the use of all materials closely, ensuring that everyone can express themselves in a secure and controlled setting.

What types of special needs can you accommodate?

We pride ourselves on being fully inclusive. Whether the participant has physical disabilities, learning difficulties, or neurodivergent traits like autism, we adapt our teaching style. We can adjust the pace, provide one-on-one assistance, and use different types of nozzles that require less finger pressure. Our goal is to ensure that everyone in Santa Marta, regardless of their ability, feels like a true street artist.

Do we need to come to a specific studio, or can you come to us?

We are very flexible with locations! We can host the workshop at a wheelchair-accessible outdoor space near the Rodadero beach, or we can bring the entire setup to your specific facility or care home in Santa Marta. We bring protective floor coverings and mobile walls, so we can turn almost any flat, well-ventilated space into a temporary street art studio.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard special needs session usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining engagement and energy without causing fatigue. However, because we focus on the needs of the group, we can include more frequent breaks or extend the creative phase if everyone is having a 'vibey' time and wants to keep painting!

Do participants need to have previous artistic experience?

Not at all! You don't need any prior drawing skills or art experience. Our professional artists guide the group through simple techniques, from making basic dots to creating cool 'drip' effects. We use stencils and tape to help create clean lines, so everyone walks away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It’s all about the joy of the process.

What should participants wear and bring to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little messy—though we do provide full protective suits! Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Since Santa Marta can be quite warm, we suggest light, breathable fabrics underneath the overalls. We provide all the professional spray cans, caps, gloves, and canvases, so you just need to bring your enthusiasm!

How do I book a workshop and what is the payment process?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You can use our online Cost Calculator to get a rough estimate, or simply send us a message with your group size and preferred date. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists ready to go, so your event is guaranteed.

Site setup: Our team arrives early to set up mobile walls, protective floor mats, and organise the colourful spray cans.
Safety briefing: A friendly introduction to the gear, including how to wear masks and use the cans safely and effectively.
Skill building: Participants practice basic spray techniques on a 'test wall' to get a feel for the pressure and flow.
Design phase: We help the group sketch out ideas or choose stencils that represent their unique personalities.
Main painting: The real fun begins! Everyone starts applying colour to their canvas or the shared mural with artist guidance.
Final touches: Our artists help add outlines or highlights to make the artwork really 'pop' and look professional.
The big reveal: A moment to celebrate! We take group photos and admire the vibrant masterpieces created by everyone.
Easy cleanup: We pack up all the gear and leave the space exactly as we found it, taking the mess with us.

Local culture

Santa Marta isn't just about the stunning beaches of Tayrona; it's a city alive with stories told through murals. From the historical streets of the Centro Histórico to the laid-back vibes of Taganga, street art is used here to celebrate local heritage and the beauty of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Our workshops tap into this 'Costeño' spirit, using the bright, tropical colours found in the local markets.

Fun Fact: Did you know Santa Marta is the oldest surviving city in Colombia? While the history is ancient, the art scene is fresh and growing, making it the perfect place to bridge the gap between tradition and modern expression! 🌊

Pricing

Our goal is to make art accessible to everyone in Santa Marta. Because every group has different requirements—from the number of assistants needed to the amount of material used—we offer flexible pricing models.

Price range: $100.000 - $250.000 COP per person.
No Upfront Payment: You only pay once the workshop is finished and you are happy with the results.
Volume Discounts: Special rates are available for larger groups and non-profit organisations.
