Who can participate in the graffiti activities at the local food festival?

Everyone is welcome! Our street art zone at the Mekelle Food Festival is designed for all ages, from kids who want to spray their first tag to adults looking for a creative outlet. Our professional artists provide constant supervision and guidance, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment where the only requirement is a bit of curiosity and a desire to have fun. No previous artistic experience is needed at all!

Is the graffiti activity safe for children and families?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your festive outfit clean. We use low-odor spray paint whenever possible and set up our stations in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our professional artists briefed on safety protocols are always present to manage the equipment and guide participants on the correct and safe way to use spray cans.

Do I need to have any prior drawing or painting skills?

You definitely don't need to be an artist to join the fun! Most of our participants have never held a spray can before. We start with the basics, teaching you how to control pressure, create lines, and fill in shapes. Our artists are there to sketch outlines or help you with the tricky bits, making sure you walk away feeling proud of what you've created. It's about the experience!

What materials are provided during the workshop?

The best part about our festival service is that we handle everything. We provide premium spray cans in a rainbow of colors, protective clothing, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, and the canvases or boards themselves. You just need to bring your energy and perhaps some comfortable shoes. We even bring cleaning supplies to ensure everyone stays tidy after their session.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard mini-session for festival-goers usually lasts between 20 to 45 minutes, allowing you to create something cool without missing out on the delicious food! If you are booking a private group session within the festival grounds, we can extend this to 1.5 or 2 hours for a more deep-dive creative experience. We are flexible and can adapt to the flow of the event.

What kind of guarantees do you offer for your events?

We offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If for some reason you aren't happy with the creative energy or the setup, we will work with you to make it right. Additionally, we don't require upfront payments for many of our bookings, and we have a pool of backup artists ready to step in, so your event entertainment is never at risk of cancellation. Your fun is our mission!

Local culture

Mekelle is a city that beats with a heart of stone and soul—from the stunning architecture of the Atse Yohannes IV Palace to the bustling markets of Kedamay Weyane. The street art culture here is growing, blending traditional Ethiopian motifs with modern urban expression. We love bringing our workshops to this vibrant atmosphere, where the local community's resilience and creativity shine through every spray can stroke.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the traditional food Tihlo, which Mekelle is famous for, requires incredible hand precision? We find that locals here have a natural talent for graffiti spray control because they are already masters of hand-eye coordination! 🎨
