How it works

  1. Arrival and meet-up: Gather your group at our designated Bogota street art location where your professional artist host will be waiting.
  2. Intro to Bogota's street art: Enjoy a brief, engaging talk about the local graffiti culture and why Bogota is one of the street art capitals of the world.
  3. Safety and gear up: Put on your protective suits, masks, and gloves. We'll show you how to handle the spray cans safely and effectively.
  4. Mastering the nozzle: Start with basic exercises to learn 'can control'—practising lines, dots, and pressure to get comfortable with the medium.
  5. Sketching the concept: Work with the artist to outline the main design on the wall. This is where your group's collective vision starts to take shape.
  6. Filling and blending: Dive into the colour! Learn how to fill large areas and create smooth gradients and transitions between different shades.
  7. The finishing touches: Add outlines, highlights, and your personal 'tags' to make the artwork pop and look professionally finished.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to participate in the workshop?

No artistic talent is required at all! Our Bogota cultural events are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to those who have held a spray can before. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and moving into complex fills. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you’ve created together. It is all about the experience and the joy of creating something unique in a group setting.

What should I wear for a graffiti workshop in Bogota?

We provide high-quality protective gear, including overall suits, gloves, and masks. However, graffiti can be messy, and those fine paint particles can sometimes find their way onto your shoes or hair. We highly recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny splash of paint on, and perhaps leave your brand-new designer trainers at home for this particular Bogota adventure.

Is the workshop safe for all participants?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide professional-grade protective masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or legal street art zones in Bogota. Our instructors are experienced in managing groups and ensure everyone follows safety protocols while having a great time exploring their creative side with the cans.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard cultural event workshop in Bogota typically lasts between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes an introduction to the history of local street art, a safety briefing, technique practice on the wall, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. We can also adjust the timing to fit into a tighter schedule or extend it for more in-depth artistic sessions depending on your group's needs.

Can we choose our own designs or themes?

While we provide all the professional materials like spray cans and caps, you are more than welcome to bring sketches or ideas! Many groups find it helpful to have a theme or a specific word they want to paint. Our artists will help you refine your ideas into a design that works well on a large scale. If you're stuck for inspiration, our team has plenty of Bogota-inspired concepts ready to go.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

We offer ultimate flexibility for your peace of mind. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your graffiti experience in Bogota. Payment is only required after the workshop has been completed and you are happy with the results. Additionally, we have a network of backup artists available, meaning your cultural event will never be cancelled due to staff illness or unforeseen circumstances.

What happens if it rains on the day of our event?

Bogota's weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. If the forecast looks particularly rainy, we can usually pivot to a covered outdoor location or discuss rescheduling options. Because we have multiple sites available across the city, we can often find a sheltered spot that allows the creativity to flow without the paint washing away. We always check the weather in advance and stay in close contact.
