Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have any artistic experience to join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists break down the basics of can control, nozzle pressure, and layering in a way that is easy and fun. We provide a safe environment where you can experiment, make mistakes, and eventually create something you are truly proud of. It is all about the process and having a great time!

Is the workshop safe and are materials provided?

We take safety seriously! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. The workshop takes place in well-ventilated areas. Our instructors are experienced pros who teach you the correct way to handle the equipment, ensuring a session that is as safe as it is exciting. Plus, our spray paints are selected for the best performance and safety standards.

How long does the cultural graffiti event last?

In Medellin, our graffiti workshops typically last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the local street art scene, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on time for you to paint your masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive session or a quick team-building 'taster', we can definitely adjust the timing to suit your schedule.

Can you host the workshop at a specific location of my choice?

While we usually have a designated wall or canvas setup ready for you, we can often come to your location if it meets safety and ventilation requirements. Whether it is a private patio, a community centre, or a festival ground in Medellin, we can bring the Graffitifun experience to you. Just let us know your preferred spot, and we will handle the logistics to make it happen!

Is there an age limit for participating in the workshop?

Not at all! We believe art is for everyone. We host events for kids' parties, school groups, and adults alike. For younger children, we use specialised techniques and closer supervision to ensure they have a blast. Whether you are 7 or 70, the thrill of spraying vibrant colours onto a wall is a universal joy. It is a fantastic multi-generational activity for families or diverse teams.

What should I wear and bring to the event?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective gear including overalls, it’s best to be prepared. Other than that, just bring your enthusiasm and maybe some ideas or sketches if you’re feeling inspired. We provide all the professional-grade spray cans, caps, and safety equipment you’ll need for the day.

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

Medellin’s weather can be unpredictable! Most of our locations have covered areas to ensure the fun continues regardless of a tropical downpour. If the weather is truly extreme, we have backup plans and flexible rescheduling options. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never cancel. Your creative experience is our priority, and we will work hard to ensure the spray keeps flowing!
