Do I need to have any artistic skills to participate?

Absolutely not! Our Kisumu graffiti workshops are designed for everyone, from those who haven't picked up a pen in years to seasoned doodles. Our professional artists guide you through every single step, from holding the can to mastering advanced shading. Most of our guests are surprised by the high-quality masterpiece they manage to create by the end of the session. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the process!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and specialised masks to keep you safe and clean. However, we always recommend wearing comfortable clothes and old trainers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of 'artistic character' on. Spray paint is permanent, and while we take every precaution, it's best to leave your designer gear at home for the day!

Is the spray paint safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), including masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces across Kisumu. Our artists are trained in safety protocols and will provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a worry-free environment for all participants.

Where exactly in Kisumu do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host the event at various vibrant outdoor locations in Kisumu, or if you have a specific venue in mind—like a hotel garden, a community centre, or even your own backyard—we can come to you. As long as there is enough space and ventilation, we can set up our mobile 'graffiti wall' and bring the street art studio wherever you are.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard cultural graffiti session typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a demo of techniques, some practice time, and the final creation of your artwork. If you’re planning a larger festival or a multi-day cultural event, we can certainly adapt the duration to fit your schedule. We’ll work with you to find the perfect flow for your day.

Can you handle large groups or festivals?

In Kisumu, we can accommodate groups of almost any size. Whether you are a small group of 5 friends or a large cultural festival gathering of 100+ people, we have the artist capacity and equipment to handle it. We maintain a high artist-to-participant ratio to ensure everyone gets individual attention and succeeds in their creative journey. For very large groups, we simply deploy more of our professional team members.

How do I book and do I need to pay in advance?

Booking is easy and stress-free! You can request a quote through our website or contact us directly. We’ll discuss your vision, group size, and preferred date. The best part? There is no upfront payment required. You only pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes ahead no matter what.

Outline and detail: Add the sharp outlines and "cut-backs" that make your graffiti pop off the wall and give it that crisp finish.
Final touches: Add shines, highlights, and your personal 'tag' to claim your masterpiece.
The gallery walk: We step back as a group to admire the collective work, snap some epic photos, and share the stories behind the art. 📸
Clean up and wrap: Pack up your gear and take home your canvas (or leave a lasting mural behind) with a huge sense of achievement!

Local culture

Kisumu, the "City on the Lake," has always been a hub of artistic expression, from the vibrant Dholuo music to the intricate crafts found at the Kibuye Market. Recently, the street art scene has started to sizzle, reflecting the city's modern pulse and its deep cultural roots. Our workshops tap into this local energy, often incorporating themes of lake life, stunning sunsets, and the resilient spirit of the "Kisumu Thousand." We don't just teach you how to paint; we help you connect with the Kisumu urban landscape in a way that’s totally unique. 🌅

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kisumu's name comes from the Word 'Sumo', which means 'a place of barter trade'? We like to think of our workshops as a modern trade—exchanging old ideas for fresh, colourful inspiration! 🎤

Whether we are setting up near the Dunga Hill Camp or in a bustling community space in the city centre, the atmosphere is always electric. Street art in Kenya is about more than just paint; it's a conversation. In Kisumu, that conversation is getting louder and more colourful every day. Join us and become part of the city's living gallery. 🏆

Pricing

We believe every cultural event is unique, which is why we don't offer a one-size-fits-all price tag. Prices depend on your group size, the duration of the session, and the specific setup you’re looking for in Kisumu. Whether it's a small community project or a massive brand activation, we’ll tailor a package that fits your budget perfectly. 💰

The best part? No upfront payment is required! You only pay after the workshop is done and everyone is buzzing from the experience. Use our Cost Calculator for an instant estimate, or reach out for a bespoke quote today.
