Do students need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our university workshop participants in Medellin have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, from how to hold the nozzle to controlling pressure. We provide a safe, encouraging environment where mistakes are just part of the creative process. You'll be amazed at the high-quality mural the group can produce by the end of the session with our expert guidance.

What safety measures are in place during the workshop?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large industrial indoor areas. Our lead artists are also trained in site safety management, ensuring that everyone follows the correct procedures while handling the equipment, allowing students to focus entirely on their creative expression.

Can you host the workshop on our university campus?

We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop directly on your Medellin campus if there is a suitable outdoor wall or space for mobile boards. Alternatively, we can arrange for the session to take place at one of the city's iconic street art hubs or a private studio. We bring all the necessary equipment to you, making it easy to integrate into a busy university schedule.

How long does a typical university graffiti session last?

A standard university workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This provides enough time for an introduction to graffiti history, technique practice, and the completion of a large-scale collaborative mural. If you have a specific timeframe in mind for a student union event or a welcome week activity, we can tailor the duration to fit your programme perfectly.

What happens to the artwork after the workshop?

The final masterpiece is yours to keep! If we work on mobile wooden panels or large canvases, these can be displayed in your student union, library, or faculty hallways as a permanent reminder of the collaboration. If we paint a sanctioned wall on campus, it becomes a new piece of Medellin's ever-evolving street art landscape. It’s a fantastic way to brighten up university communal spaces.

What is the maximum group size for a student event?

We can accommodate almost any group size. For smaller seminar groups of 10-15 students, we offer a very hands-on, intimate experience. For larger university-wide events or 'Freshers Week' activities, we can scale up to 100+ participants by bringing in additional artists and setting up multiple stations. Because we have a large pool of backup artists, we can guarantee your event goes ahead regardless of the scale.

Do we need to pay anything upfront to book?

No, we believe in a 'trust first' approach. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. Once the workshop is completed and your students are buzzing with creative energy, we'll handle the payment. This makes the administration process much smoother for university departments and student societies who might have specific internal billing cycles. Just book your date and we'll handle the rest!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Medellin university event? It’s more than just painting—it’s about building a community. Here’s why it works:

Break the ice: Perfect for new students to bond quickly through a shared, slightly 'rebellious' activity. 🤝
Stress relief: Spray painting is incredibly cathartic—the perfect antidote to exam season pressure. ✨
Inclusivity: Street art is for everyone. You don't need to be an 'artist' to contribute to a stunning mural. 🌈
Cultural connection: Connect students with the local Medellin urban culture and the history of Colombian street art. 🇨🇴
Instagrammable moments: Your students will be sharing photos of their creations for weeks, giving your university great social buzz. 📸
Professional guidance: Learn from real Medellin graffiti artists who live and breathe this culture every day. 🏆

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a brief history of Medellin’s street art transformation and a safety briefing.
The tag creator: Students brainstorm their 'writer names' and sketch out initial concepts on paper.
Can control 101: Our pros demonstrate how to create thin lines, fat caps, and smooth gradients.
First sprays: Everyone gets a practice board to get a feel for the pressure and distance of the spray cans.
Collaborative sketching: We move to the main mural, outlining the collective design with light strokes.
Filling & fading: The team works together to add vibrant colours, blends, and 'fills' to the artwork.
The outline & highlights: We add the 'power line' and highlights to make the graffiti pop off the wall.
Final touches: Students add their individual 'tags' and signatures to the finished piece.
Group photo: We celebrate the creation with a professional group photo in front of your new masterpiece.

Good to know

Local culture

Medellin isn't just a city; it's a living, breathing canvas. Known as the 'City of Eternal Spring', it’s also the unofficial street art capital of Colombia. The way urban art helped transform neighbourhoods like Comuna 13 is a powerful lesson in social change that resonates deeply with students. When you book a workshop with us, you're tapping into the same spirit of resilience and creativity that defines the 'Paisa' culture. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know that Medellin hosts several international urban art festivals every year? The city’s legal walls mean that street art is respected as a legitimate and prestigious art form, making it the perfect environment for students to learn the craft without the 'outlaw' stigma. 🚀
