  • Pro artists only: Learn from actual Medellin street artists who live and breathe this culture every day. 🎤
  • No "naughty" business: We teach the difference between illegal tagging and high-impact muralism, promoting respect for public property. 🏛️

Frequently asked questions

How does a graffiti workshop help prevent vandalism in Medellin?

Medellin's transformation has been driven by street art, but respecting property is key. Our anti-vandalism program teaches participants that graffiti is an art form that deserves a proper canvas. By providing legal spaces and professional materials, we channel creative energy into something positive and sanctioned, reducing the urge to tag illegally while fostering a deep respect for the city's urban environment and its community.

Do I need to be an artist to participate?

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed to join our workshops. Our professional Medellin artists are experts at breaking down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps. Whether you've never held a spray can or you're a budding illustrator, we provide the guidance and confidence you need to create a piece of art you'll be genuinely proud of by the end of the session.

Is the workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paints and conduct our workshops in well-ventilated, legal outdoor or indoor spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every session to ensure everyone handles the materials correctly and stays safe.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard anti-vandalism workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time to cover the history of Medellin's street art, learn basic spray-painting techniques, practice your flow, and collaborate on a final large-scale piece. If you have specific time constraints for a school or corporate group, we can often adjust the duration to fit your schedule perfectly.

What is the minimum age for participants?

For our anti-vandalism programs in Medellin, we generally recommend a minimum age of 8 years old. This ensures that participants have the physical coordination to handle the spray cans safely and can follow the educational aspects of the program. We offer tailored experiences for younger children in our kids' parties' vertical, which uses age-appropriate materials and simplified techniques.

Do I need to pay in advance?

We believe in flexibility and trust. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your Medellin workshop with us. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. This 'pay later' policy ensures you can book with total peace of mind, knowing we are committed to delivering a fantastic creative event.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Medellin's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! We have access to several covered outdoor locations and indoor studios throughout the city. If the weather looks like it might ruin the fun, we can usually pivot to a sheltered spot or reschedule the session. With our backup artist system, we also ensure your event goes ahead even if an instructor is unavailable.

What is included in the price of the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes a wide array of premium spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective clothing, and the surfaces you'll be painting on. For our anti-vandalism programs, we often use large-scale boards or designated legal walls. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on.
