Frequently asked questions

Do the participants need any artistic experience?

Absolutely! While Bogota's street art is famous for its complexity, our youth projects are designed for beginners. Our professional artists break down the process into easy, manageable steps. We focus on building confidence and teaching basic techniques first, ensuring every young person walks away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. No prior drawing skills are necessary to join in.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for young people?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our workshops are held in legal, designated graffiti zones or private venues in Bogota. Furthermore, our instructors are experienced professionals who supervise the use of spray cans at all times to ensure a safe and respectful environment for everyone involved.

How long does a typical youth project session last?

The workshop usually lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, some practice runs on cardboard or practice walls, and then the creation of the final masterpiece. We find this duration is perfect for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the participants getting tired. We can also adjust the timing to fit your specific event schedule.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything needed for a complete street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray paint in a wide variety of colours, caps for different line widths, protective clothing, and the surfaces for painting. You just need to bring your energy and perhaps some old shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty. We handle all the logistics from setup to clean-up.

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

Bogota's weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. If the workshop is planned for outdoors and it rains, we usually have backup indoor locations or can set up large gazebos. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel. We will always coordinate with you to ensure the workshop goes ahead smoothly, rain or shine.

What is the maximum group size for a youth project?

We are very flexible! Whether you have a small youth group of 10 or a large community event with over 100 participants, we can scale our team to match. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure every young person gets individual attention and guidance. Just let us know your estimated numbers and we will create a plan that works.

Do we have to pay in advance?

We believe in the quality of our projects, which is why we don't require upfront payments. You can settle the booking after the workshop has been successfully completed. This gives you peace of mind and ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we've provided for your youth group in Bogota. We accept various payment methods for your convenience.
