Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

No prior artistic experience is needed to join our Bogota graffiti workshops. We specialise in teaching beginners the ropes, from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. Our professional artists guide you through every step, ensuring you feel confident and creative regardless of your skill level. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself in a safe, guided environment.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes high-quality spray cans in a variety of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvas or wall space for your creation. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and bring your enthusiasm—we handle all the logistics and cleanup.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for all ages?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks and protective gear for all participants. Our workshops take place in legal, ventilated areas, and our professional instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure a secure environment where you can focus entirely on your creativity.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard public graffiti workshop in Bogota typically lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of your final piece. We find this duration is perfect for maintaining high energy and focus while allowing everyone to walk away with a finished artwork they are proud of.

Do I need to pay in advance for the booking?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexible booking policy. You do not need to pay anything upfront when you book your session. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so you simply pay after the experience is complete. This takes the stress out of planning and ensures you are 100% satisfied with the creative service we provide.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?

While we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and artist, we always try to accommodate last-minute requests. Because we have a large team of backup artists in Bogota, we are often able to step in even on short notice. Just reach out to us, and we will do our best to make it happen for you.
