Is the spray paint safe to use near food areas?

Absolutely! We use water-based, low-odour spray paint specifically for food festival environments. Your safety and the hygiene of the surrounding food stalls are our priorities. We provide masks, gloves, and protective suits to all participants, ensuring a clean and professional experience while you focus on your artistic flow in the heart of Addis Ababa.

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

No prior experience is necessary at all. Our professional artists are there to guide you through every step, from holding the can to mastering complex shading techniques. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned doodler, we make sure you walk away with a piece of art you are proud of.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard interactive session at a food festival usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. However, we offer "walk-in" styles where guests can contribute to a large mural for 15-20 minutes, or full-length workshops for those who want a deeper dive into the graffiti subculture.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We provide everything! This includes premium spray cans in a rainbow of colors, high-quality caps for different line widths, protective gear (suits/gloves/masks), and the canvases or boards. You just need to show up with your appetite for food and creativity. We handle the setup and the cleanup.

What happens if the scheduled artist cannot make it?

In the unlikely event that an artist is unwell, we have a backup roster of skilled street artists ready to step in. We guarantee that your event will never be cancelled due to artist availability. Our commitment to the Addis Ababa creative scene means we always have professional coverage.

Can you host workshops in other Ethiopian cities?

Yes, we love traveling across Ethiopia! While we are based in Addis Ababa, we can bring the graffiti vibe to food festivals in Dire Dawa, Mekelle, Adama, and Hawassa. Contact us to discuss the logistics and travel arrangements for your specific location outside the capital.
