Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

No artistic skill or drawing background is required! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at guiding beginners throughout Addis Ababa. We start with the basics of can control and simple lines before moving on to more complex techniques. Whether you are a natural-born artist or have never held a spray can, we ensure you leave with a piece of art you are proud of. It’s all about the fun and the experience!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a creative day out in Addis. This includes high-quality spray cans in various colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or practice walls and all necessary sketching materials. All you need to bring is your energy and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty while we work.

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide professional-grade respiratory masks and protective gear to every participant. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially set up creative spaces. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring that everyone knows how to handle the equipment properly and safely while having a blast.

How long does the workshop experience last?

Our standard cultural event workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a demo from our pros, plenty of practice time, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If your event in Addis Ababa has a specific schedule to stick to, we can often adjust the timing to fit your needs perfectly. Just let us know your requirements!

Can you host the workshop at my specific location in Addis?

Absolutely! We love bringing the graffiti vibe to different parts of the city. While we have our own preferred creative spots, we can also bring the workshop to your private venue, office, or event space if it meets certain safety and ventilation requirements. We use mobile "graffiti walls" or large canvases to ensure we leave the venue exactly as we found it—just with more happy faces!

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible when it comes to group sizes. Whether you are a small group of friends or a large cultural organisation with 50+ participants, we’ve got you covered. For larger groups, we simply bring in more of our talented backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal guidance and plenty of spray time. We make sure no one is ever standing around waiting for a turn.

How do I book and when do I pay?

Booking is simple and risk-free! You can start by requesting a quote through our website or using our cost calculator. Once we agree on the details, we lock in your date. The best part? You don't have to pay anything upfront. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists ready to ensure your event never gets cancelled.

Local culture

Addis Ababa is a city of incredible transitions, where ancient tradition meets a rapidly growing urban art scene. From the colourful murals appearing on the walls of Piassa to the creative hubs in Sarbet, the city is breathing new life through street art. Our workshops tap into this unique "Finfinne" energy, blending international graffiti techniques with local Ethiopian aesthetics.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Addis Ababa is often called the "Political Capital of Africa"? We believe that art is the ultimate universal language for such a diverse and historic city! 🌍

Whether you are from Addis or just visiting, our events provide a platform to see the city through a different lens—one made of neon paint and bold outlines. We often draw inspiration from the vibrant patterns and scripts found throughout Ethiopia to make your graffiti experience truly local.
