Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics, like how to hold a spray can and control the pressure. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from sketching your first lines to adding those final professional highlights. Most people are surprised by the high-quality piece they manage to create by the end of the day.

What safety equipment is provided during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep you safe and your clothes clean. We recommend wearing comfortable, old shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. All the paints we use are professional grade, and our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying.

Where exactly in Barranquilla do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible with locations in Barranquilla. We can host the workshop at one of our pre-approved street art spots, or if you have a private wall or a large outdoor space at your venue, we can come to you. We just need a well-ventilated area. If it rains, we usually have backup indoor spots or can reschedule to ensure you get the best experience.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Most of our standard public art workshops last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a full-scale mural. If you are looking for a more intensive masterclass or a team-building event, we can extend the duration to suit your group's specific needs and creative goals.

Can I book a private workshop for a large group?

Yes, we love hosting private groups! Whether it is a birthday, a stag or hen do, or just a group of friends looking for something unique to do in Barranquilla, we can tailor the session. We offer tiered pricing based on your group size, making it an affordable and memorable way to celebrate while contributing to the city's vibrant urban art scene.

How does the payment process work? Do I pay upfront?

We keep it simple and stress-free. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your session. We believe in the quality of our service, so you only pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods, but feel free to ask about specifics during your booking.
