I have never done graffiti before - can I still join?
Absolutely! Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our Bogota workshops are designed for beginners, starting with basic safety and nozzle control before moving on to creative techniques. Our pro artists guide you every step of the way, ensuring you walk away with a piece you are truly proud of. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself in a relaxed environment.
Is the workshop safe and do you provide gear?
Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our instructors are experienced Bogota artists who ensure everyone follows proper handling procedures, making the experience safe for adults and older children alike who want to explore the world of street art.
How long does a typical workshop last?
Standard workshops for tourists usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of Bogota's street art scene, a technical demonstration, and plenty of hands-on practice. If you are a larger group or want a more intensive masterclass, we can easily extend the duration to suit your schedule. We aim for a pace that feels creative rather than rushed.
What is the minimum or maximum group size?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a solo traveller looking for a private session, a couple, or a large tour group of 50+, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. Just let us know your group size when booking, and we will tailor the setup for you.
What happens if it rains or there is a cancellation?
Bogota's weather can be unpredictable, but we have you covered. We use locations with sheltered areas or indoor alternatives so the rain won't dampen your creativity. Furthermore, we have a pool of backup artists available, so even if an instructor falls ill, your workshop will still go ahead. We pride ourselves on reliability and ensuring your holiday plans stay on track.
Do I need to pay in advance to book?
The best part about Graffitifun is our 'no stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your Bogota experience. You simply enjoy the workshop and pay the total amount afterwards. This gives you peace of mind and ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. We accept various payment methods for your convenience.
Can I take my artwork home with me?
Usually, our tourist workshops are done on large shared canvases or temporary walls that allow for big, bold movements. However, if you would like to take something home, we can arrange for workshops on individual canvases or boards. Please mention this when requesting your quote so we can prepare the right materials for your Bogota street art adventure.
