Why choose us in Bogota?

Choosing a graffiti workshop is a brilliant way to break the routine of standard art classes. Here is why schools in Bogota love working with us:

Boosts confidence: Seeing a large-scale piece of art come to life gives students a massive sense of accomplishment.
Safe and professional: We use child-friendly equipment and expert instructors who specialise in youth engagement.
Cultural connection: We link the workshop to Bogota's world-famous street art scene, making it locally relevant.
No financial risk: With our "pay after the workshop" policy, your school budget is always protected.
Teamwork: Many of our sessions involve creating a large collaborative mural, teaching kids how to work together.
Zero hassle: We bring everything to you and handle the entire setup and clean-up process.

How it works

Introduction and safety: Our artists arrive and set up the workspace. We start with a kid-friendly talk about safety and how to use the equipment properly.
History of street art: We give a brief, engaging history of graffiti, highlighting Bogota's status as a world-renowned street art hub.
Sketching the vision: Students grab paper and pencils to sketch out their ideas, learning about fonts, characters, and "tagging" styles.
Can control basics: Before hitting the wall, we teach the children how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create different line widths.
The first layer: Time to paint! Children start applying their base colours to the collective mural or their individual boards.
Adding detail: Under the guidance of our pros, students learn how to add outlines, highlights, and "shadows" to make their work pop.
The final masterpiece: We step back as a group to admire the collaborative work, often taking a group photo to celebrate the achievement.
Clean up: We handle all the pack-down and ensure the school area is left exactly as we found it.

Practical details

Our workshops are tailored for children aged 6 to 12. A standard session lasts approximately 2 hours, though we can adjust this to fit your school timetable. We provide all necessary safety gear, including high-spec masks, gloves, and protective clothing. We can work with small groups or entire grade levels, maintaining a safe artist-to-student ratio at all times. If it rains—a common occurrence in our beautiful "fridge" city—we can move the workshop under cover or use indoor-safe water-based paints if the ventilation allows. We also have a backup artist roster, so your event will never be cancelled due to staff illness.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for primary school children?

Absolutely! We use special low-pressure spray cans that are easier for smaller hands to control, and we provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves. Our instructors are professional artists who have years of experience working with children, ensuring a safe, supervised environment where the only thing that gets messy is the canvas!

Where in Bogota does the workshop take place?

We are totally flexible! We can host the workshop at your school premises in Bogota using mobile wooden walls or plastic sheeting, or we can arrange for the class to visit a legal street art zone. Most schools prefer the convenience of their own playground, and we make sure to leave the site spotless.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard primary school session usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance to keep students engaged without them losing focus. We start with a brief history and technique demo, followed by plenty of hands-on painting time where they can really let their imaginations run wild.

Do we need to provide any materials for the students?

Everything is included in the price! We provide the spray paint, protective overalls or ponchos, gloves, masks, and the "canvas" (whether that’s a wall or individual boards). You just need to make sure the kids are wearing old clothes underneath, just in case they get a little extra creative!

Do we have to pay in advance to secure the booking?

Not at all. There is no upfront payment required when you book with Graffitifun. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. This gives schools peace of mind and makes the administrative process much smoother for teachers and organisers.

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Graffiti is a fantastic way to improve fine motor skills, encourage teamwork, and boost self-esteem. It teaches children that there are no "mistakes" in art, only opportunities to pivot. It’s also a brilliant way to connect with Bogota's local culture and history in a hands-on, memorable way.

What is the maximum group size for a school workshop?

We can accommodate everything from a small art club of 10 students to an entire year group of 100+. For larger groups, we simply bring more professional artists to ensure every child gets personal guidance and stays safe. We maintain a high teacher-to-student ratio for the best experience.
