Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority for youth projects in Cartagena. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and aprons. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups and ensure every spray can is used correctly. We choose safe, legal locations for our workshops so that every teenager can focus entirely on their creativity without any worries. Safety first, fun always!

How long does a youth project session last?

Our standard youth workshops in Cartagena typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the group plenty of time to learn the basic techniques, practice their 'tag' on paper, and eventually create a full-scale masterpiece on a wall or canvas. We find this duration is perfect for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the participants getting tired. Of course, we can adjust the timing to fit your specific event schedule.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

No experience? No problem! Most of the young people we work with have never touched a spray can before. Our expert artists excel at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We start with the basics of nozzle control and lines before moving on to shading and 3D effects. Everyone will walk away having created something they are genuinely proud of, regardless of their starting skill level.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all the premium spray paint (in a rainbow of vibrant colours), protective equipment, nozzles, and the painting surface (either a legal wall or individual canvases). We also bring sketches and inspiration materials to help spark those creative engines. All you need to bring is some old clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on and plenty of enthusiasm!

Where do the workshops take place in Cartagena?

We are very flexible! While we have several fantastic legal graffiti spots and artistic hubs across Cartagena, we can also come to you. If you have a school yard, a community centre, or a private event space that allows painting, we can set up our mobile workshop there. We use high-quality canvases or temporary wooden walls if you don't want permanent paint on your property. Just let us know your preference!

Can we choose a specific theme for our youth graffiti project?

Yes, definitely! We believe that the best youth projects are the ones where participants feel a sense of ownership. Before we start painting, our mentors can work with your group to brainstorm a theme that matters to them—whether it's local Cartagena culture, environmental issues, or a school motto. This collaborative planning phase makes the final artwork much more meaningful and impactful for the community.

What is the maximum group size for a youth workshop?

We specialise in large groups! Our Cartagena team can comfortably handle groups from 10 to over 100 participants. For very large youth projects, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure every participant gets individual attention and guidance. We maintain a great artist-to-student ratio so that the quality of the workshop remains top-notch, no matter how many young creators are joining in the fun.

The experience

Street art is more than just paint on a wall; it’s a tool for empowerment, communication, and community building. Here is why our graffiti workshops are the top choice for youth projects in Cartagena:

Boosts confidence: Seeing a massive piece of art you helped create provides an incredible sense of achievement. 🏆
Promotes teamwork: Large murals require coordination and collaboration, teaching kids how to work together toward a shared goal.

Expert guidance: Our artists aren't just talented; they are amazing mentors who know how to keep a group engaged and excited. 🔥
Zero stress: With no upfront payment and backup artists ready to go, your booking is safe with us.

Step by step

Introduction & inspiration: We start with a brief history of Colombian street art and a safety briefing to get everyone ready.
Sketching the vision: Participants grab markers and paper to brainstorm their designs and practice their personal 'tag'.
Mastering the nozzle: Our pros demonstrate how to hold the can and control the spray for different line widths and effects.
First lines: Everyone moves to the wall or canvas to practice basic shapes and gain confidence with the medium.
Outline & fill: The youth group begins the main project, filling in large areas with vibrant colours and bold outlines.
Adding the 'pop': We teach advanced techniques like highlights, shadows, and 'cuts' to make the artwork look professional.
The grand reveal: We take a step back as a group to admire the finished mural and take plenty of photos for social media.
Clean up & wrap up: We pack away the gear, leaving the site tidy while reflecting on the team's creative achievements.

Local culture

Cartagena is world-renowned for its incredible street art, particularly in the vibrant Getsemaní district. What was once an overlooked corner of the city has been transformed into an open-air gallery, where local artists tell stories of African heritage, tropical nature, and daily life through huge, colourful murals. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging youth to see their city as a canvas for positive change. 🎨

Fun fact: Many of the famous murals in Cartagena's Getsemaní were created to promote community pride and local history, making it one of the most Instagrammed spots in all of Colombia! ✨

Pricing

Our graffiti youth projects are competitively priced to ensure as many young people as possible can experience the joy of street art. Pricing is volume-based, meaning the more participants you have, the better the value!

Estimated price range: $100,000 COP – $250,000 COP per person.

Please note: Final pricing depends on group size, duration, and whether we use a permanent wall or individual canvases.
