Do I need to be an artist to participate in the cultural graffiti event?

Absolutely! Our graffiti workshops in Jijiga are designed for everyone, from people who have never held a spray can to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic lines and safety. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive. It is all about having fun, learning a new cultural medium, and expressing your unique personality through art.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We take care of everything so you can focus on the art. We provide high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colors, professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your Ethiopian clothing clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. All you need to bring is your energy, some comfortable old shoes, and your creative spirit to make some magic happen in the Somali Region!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard cultural event workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are planning a larger festival or a more complex community project in Jijiga, we can easily extend the duration or spread the activities over a few days to suit your specific schedule and goals.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks and protective gear for all participants. Our workshops are ideally held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large indoor areas with proper airflow. Our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure that the paint is handled correctly and that everyone follows safety protocols while enjoying their creative journey in the heart of the Somali Region.

Can you host workshops in other Ethiopian cities?

Yes, we love traveling across Ethiopia! While we are currently highlighting our cultural events in Jijiga, Graffitifun also organizes amazing workshops in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Mekelle, and Adama. Whether you are hosting a school event, a corporate gathering, or a private party, our team of mobile artists is ready to bring the vibrant world of street art directly to your doorstep, wherever you are located.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible! We can accommodate small, intimate groups of 5-10 people, or manage large-scale cultural events with over 100 participants. For larger groups in Jijiga, we bring extra artists to ensure everyone receives personal attention and guidance. Since we have a reliable roster of backup artists, you never have to worry about last-minute cancellations. We make sure your event is a success regardless of the size.

How do I book and when do I need to pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can request a quote through our website or contact us directly. We do not require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed and you are happy with the results. This is part of our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
