Do I need to be an artist to join a graffiti workshop in Cartagena?

Absolutely! Our Cartagena public art experiences are designed for everyone, regardless of artistic background. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists guide you through every step, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you pick up the rhythm of the spray, and we guarantee you'll leave with a piece of art you're proud of!

Are the graffiti workshops safe and is protective gear provided?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect against fumes, as well as gloves and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or high-ceilinged spaces. Our instructors are trained professionals who ensure that the spray cans are used correctly and safely throughout the entire session.

How long does a typical street art session last?

A standard public art session usually lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive experience or a large-scale mural project, we can extend the duration to suit your group's specific needs. We always ensure there is plenty of time for photos at the end!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

Cartagena is tropical, so we are prepared for the heat! We recommend wearing comfortable, light clothing and closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on (just in case). While we provide full-body overalls, it’s best to be practical. Don't forget your sunglasses and some sunscreen, as we often work in the beautiful Colombian sun to get the best light for our art.

Can I book a workshop for a large group or corporate event?

We are happy to accommodate groups of almost any size! For public art experiences, we typically work with groups starting from 5 people up to large corporate teams of 100+. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. If you have a specific group size in mind, just let us know and we will tailor the setup for you.

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Rain is rare but possible in Cartagena. If the weather doesn't play ball, we have several options. We can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area, use one of our indoor studio spaces, or reschedule the session to a time that suits you better. We always keep a close eye on the forecast and will coordinate with you at least 24 hours in advance if changes are needed.

Can we choose a specific theme for our graffiti mural?

While we encourage free expression, we can certainly work around a specific theme or even help you recreate a corporate logo or brand message. Our artists are experts at translating your ideas into street art reality. Whether you want to celebrate Cartagena’s history or showcase your company’s values, just share your vision with us during the booking process and we will prepare the sketches accordingly.

Local culture

Cartagena isn't just a city; it's a living, breathing canvas. The Getsemaní neighbourhood, once a hidden corner, is now the world-renowned epicentre of Colombian street art. Walking these streets, you’ll see murals that tell stories of Afro-Caribbean heritage, tropical flora, and the spirited resistance of the local community. Our workshops take place in the heart of this creative energy, allowing you to breathe in the same salty Caribbean air that inspires the city's greatest muralists. ✨

Fun fact: Many of the murals in Cartagena are 'community-authorised,' meaning the neighbours actually request artists to paint their walls to keep the local culture alive and vibrant. When you spray here, you’re part of a long-standing tradition of visual storytelling! 🇨🇴
