What exactly is a graffiti anti-vandalism program?

An anti-vandalism workshop is a proactive approach that teaches the difference between illegal graffiti and legal street art. In Jimma, we focus on providing a legal outlet for creativity. Participants learn that by respecting public property and using designated spaces, they can actually improve the city's appearance rather than detracting from it. It shifts the mindset from destruction to constructive artistic expression.🎨

Is the workshop safe for beginners and kids?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and our professional artists supervise every second of the session. We use professional-grade spray cans in well-ventilated outdoor areas in Jimma. We ensure that every participant knows how to handle the tools safely before they even touch a can of paint.✨

Do we need to bring our own spray cans or paint?

Everything is included! When you book a workshop with Graffitifun in Jimma, we provide all the spray paint, specialized nozzles, high-quality canvases or wall space, and all necessary protective clothing. You just need to show up in some old clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on (just in case!) and bring your creative energy.🔥

How long does a typical session last?

We are very flexible! Most of our anti-vandalism workshops in Jimma take between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the historical introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a collaborative mural. For larger community groups or school projects, we can even extend the program over multiple days if needed.⏱️

Do I need to have artistic skills to participate?

You don't need any prior artistic talent to join us! Our professional artists are experts at breaking down complex street art techniques into simple, manageable steps. We've seen people who 'can't draw a stick figure' end up creating incredible pieces by the end of the day. It's more about the process and the message than being a master painter.🏆

Who is this workshop best suited for?

Our anti-vandalism workshops are perfect for schools, local youth centers, NGOs, and community groups looking to improve their neighborhoods. We also work with businesses in Jimma that want to engage with the community in a positive way. It's a great team-building activity that leaves a lasting positive impact on the city's streets.🌍

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

We believe in complete trust. You don't have to pay anything upfront when you book your workshop. Payment is only required after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have a network of backup artists ready to go, so you never have to worry about last-minute cancellations. Your event is guaranteed to happen!💪 village

Welcome to the most creative way to keep the streets of Jimma clean and vibrant! Our graffiti anti-vandalism program isn't just about paint; it's about transforming the narrative of street culture in Ethiopia's coffee capital.

It’s colorful, it’s loud, and it’s 100% positive for the community. Whether you're a school group, a local NGO, or just a bunch of friends wanting to do something meaningful, we provide the ultimate creative outlet. Let's get creative! 🎨✨

Local culture

Jimma is a city of incredible history and lush green energy, known globally as the birthplace of Coffee Arabica. But beyond the plantations and the historic Jimma Abba Jifar Palace, there is a pulse of modern youth culture looking for a voice. Our workshop taps into this energy, blending the traditional pride of the Oromia region with the modern, urban language of street art. We encourage participants to draw inspiration from local patterns, coffee culture, and the vibrant life seen at the Jimma markets. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know Jimma was once the capital of the Kingdom of Jimma? Just as the city has evolved through history, we believe its street culture can evolve from random tags to organized, beautiful masterpieces that tell the city's unique story. ☕🎨

Our workshop pricing is flexible to ensure every group in Jimma can participate in this creative movement. We offer all-inclusive packages that cover every single material needed for a successful session.
