Where in Dodoma do you typically hold your workshops?

We utilise various suitable venues across Dodoma, often in community centres or private spaces that offer ample room and privacy. The specific location depends on the group size and availability, ensuring a comfortable environment for everyone to create art.

Is transport easily arranged from Dodoma Central Railway Station?

Yes, from Dodoma Central Railway Station, you can easily find local taxis or dala-dalas (minibuses) to take you to your workshop location. We can provide directions to help you reach the venue efficiently.

Can our school group combine a workshop with a visit to a local landmark?

Absolutely. Many school groups choose to combine our workshops with visits to Dodoma's landmarks like the Parliament building or Nyerere Square. We can help suggest locations that are convenient for such combined itineraries.

Are your workshops suitable for family groups with young children?

Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and can be adapted for various age groups, including families with young children. We use non-toxic paints and ensure a safe, supervised environment for all participants to enjoy.

Do you provide all the necessary art materials for the workshop?

Yes, all necessary art materials, including spray paints, stencils, protective gear, and practice surfaces, are provided as part of the workshop package. You just need to bring your creativity and enthusiasm.

Can we arrange food and drinks after our team building event in Dodoma?

We do not directly provide catering, but we can recommend local restaurants or catering services in Dodoma that are convenient to our workshop locations. This allows your team to enjoy a meal together afterwards.

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our graffiti workshops in Dodoma are designed specifically for beginners. Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can and control the pressure to creating your very first masterpiece. We provide a safe, supportive environment where the goal is to have fun and express yourself, regardless of your previous art experience.

Is the spray paint safe and what gear is provided?

We take safety seriously! We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality FFP2 masks to filter out fumes, disposable gloves to keep your hands clean, and protective overalls to shield your clothing. We always conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or large, open indoor spaces. Our instructors give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying to ensure a worry-free and creative experience for everyone involved.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard graffiti workshop in Dodoma typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice on the practice walls, and finally, the creation of your main artwork. We find this is the perfect duration to stay energised and focused without getting too tired from the physical activity of spraying.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. Spray paint is permanent and can be unpredictable, especially for beginners! Flat, closed-toe shoes are a must for safety and comfort while standing. Think 'DIY-chic' – comfortable gear that allows you to move freely while you work on your large-scale mural.

Where in Dodoma do the workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops at various cool locations across Dodoma, or we can bring the entire setup to your specific location if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated hall. Whether it’s a school playground, a corporate car park, or a backyard, we provide 'mobile walls' (cellophane or boards) so we don't leave any permanent marks where they aren't wanted. Just let us know your preference!

Do I need to pay in advance to book a session?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'no-risk' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your Dodoma workshop. We trust our clients and want the process to be as stress-free as possible. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This way, you can book with total confidence.

Reaching your Dodoma workshop

Dodoma is centrally located in Tanzania and is accessible by various means. For those arriving by train, Dodoma Central Railway Station serves as a primary hub, connecting the city with other major towns. From the station, local taxis or dala-dalas (minibuses) are readily available to transport you to your workshop location within the city.

If travelling by road, Dodoma is well-connected by major routes such as the A7 highway. This makes it convenient for groups coming from nearby cities like Morogoro or Singida. There are typically options for parking near workshop venues, and for larger groups arriving by coach, we can advise on suitable drop-off and parking arrangements. Dodoma Airport also serves domestic flights, providing an option for those flying in from further afield within Tanzania.

Lokale Kultur

Dodoma, while not globally renowned for its street art scene, is a city with a growing appreciation for public expression and community engagement. You might encounter various forms of public art, often reflecting local culture, history, or social messages, particularly on murals commissioned for specific buildings or community projects. These often use vibrant colours and depict scenes of everyday life or national pride.

The city's developing urban landscape provides a unique backdrop for contemporary art forms. Our workshops contribute to this evolving cultural tapestry, offering a platform for creative exploration within the local context. We focus on respecting the local environment and working within appropriate spaces, ensuring our activities enhance rather than detract from the city's character. The art created in our workshops is often a temporary, enriching addition to the city's creative spirit.
