What exactly is live painting and how does it work?

Live painting is a dynamic performance where our artists create a large-scale graffiti mural right before your eyes. In Bukavu, this is a popular choice for weddings, corporate launches, and festivals. It provides continuous entertainment as guests watch a blank surface transform into a professional work of art, capturing the energy of your event in real-time. It’s far more engaging than a static decoration!

Can we choose the design or theme for the artwork?

Absolutely! Whether you want your company logo, a specific theme, or a tribute to South Kivu's beautiful landscapes, our artists work with you beforehand to finalise a design. We ensure the artwork aligns perfectly with your brand identity or event theme while maintaining that authentic, edgy street art style that makes graffiti so visually striking for your guests.

Is it safe to have live spray painting indoors at a venue?

Safety is our priority. We use high-quality spray paints and, where necessary, low-odour professional cans. For indoor events in Bukavu, we ensure proper ventilation and use protective floor coverings to keep the venue spotless. Our artists are experienced professionals who handle all equipment safely, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the show without any worry or mess.

How long does a live painting performance usually take?

A standard live painting session typically lasts between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the design and the size of the canvas. We can adjust our pace to match your event's schedule, ensuring the big 'reveal' happens at the perfect moment, such as during a keynote speech or the height of a party.

What kind of surfaces can you paint on during the event?

We are incredibly flexible. We can paint on custom-built wooden panels, stretched canvases, temporary film walls, or even directly onto a designated wall if the venue allows it. If you’re not sure what fits best for your Bukavu location, just let us know and we’ll recommend the best surface for the space and your budget.

Do I need to provide any materials for the artist?

No, you don't need to worry about a thing! Graffitifun provides all the necessary professional spray cans, caps, protective gear, and drop cloths. We can also arrange the painting surface (like a mobile wall) if required. You just provide the space and the audience, and we bring the creativity and all the tools to make it happen.

What happens if the artist is unable to make it?

We understand that plans can change. One of our core strengths is our reliability; we have a team of backup artists available to step in should there be an emergency. Additionally, we don't require upfront payments—you pay after the workshop or performance is complete, giving you total peace of mind when booking your event in Bukavu.

Local culture

Bukavu is a city of incredible resilience and soul, nestled against the breathtaking backdrop of the Mitumba Mountains. We love bringing live painting here because the local community has such a deep appreciation for visual storytelling. From the bustling energy of the Kadutu market to the refined atmosphere of the hotels along the lakeshore, street art feels right at home in Bukavu. Our performances often draw inspiration from the local scenery and the vibrant Congolese culture, creating a bridge between modern urban art and the traditional spirit of the South Kivu province. By incorporating local motifs or colours, we ensure the live painting feels like a true reflection of the city's unique heartbeat.

Pricing

Our live painting services are tailored to the scale of your event. Prices generally range from FC50,000 to FC120,000 per person for interactive sessions, or a flat performance fee for live murals. Because every event in Bukavu is unique—depending on the surface size, duration, and design complexity—we recommend getting in touch for a bespoke price.
