How long does a live painting session usually last?

Our live painting performances in Dar es Salaam generally range from 2 to 6 hours, depending on the scale of the artwork and the schedule of your event. We can time the progress so the 'big reveal' happens exactly when you need it, perhaps during a keynote speech or the peak of a party. If you have a multi-day festival, we can also arrange for a larger mural to be completed over several days.

Is it messy or smelly for an indoor event?

We take safety and cleanliness very seriously. Our artists use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints or acrylics depending on the venue's ventilation. We also provide heavy-duty floor protection and screening to ensure that the surrounding environment stays spotless. Whether your event is in a high-end hotel ballroom in Masaki or an outdoor beach club, we leave the space exactly as we found it—except with a beautiful new piece of art!

Can you include our company logo or specific branding?

Absolutely! We love collaborating with brands. We can incorporate your company colours, logos, and specific themes into the piece. Our artists will work with you beforehand to create a concept that aligns perfectly with your brand identity or event message. It’s a fantastic way to create a 'wow' factor that feels authentic to your business while still maintaining that edgy, urban street art vibe.

What happens to the artwork after the event ends?

Once the event is over, the masterpiece is yours to keep! Most clients choose to have the art created on a large canvas or a series of panels. These can then be hung in your office, auctioned for charity, or given away as a unique prize. It’s a lasting souvenir of a great night. If you’re in a location like Dodoma or Mwanza, we can also arrange for the artwork to be shipped to you.

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 supplies, including high-quality paints, markers, canvases, and protective gear. All we need from you is a designated space to work and, if the event is at night, some decent lighting so the artist can see what they are doing. We handle the setup and the pack-down, leaving you free to enjoy your guests.

Is the live painting interactive for the guests?

Definitely. While the artist is the one holding the spray can, we love it when the audience feels involved. Guests can ask questions, suggest small details, or even take photos and videos while the work is in progress. For a more 'hands-on' experience, we can even set up a small secondary board where guests can try out a few spray strokes under the guidance of our professional team.

Local culture

Dar es Salaam, the "Haven of Peace," is a city overflowing with rhythm and colour, from the bustling Kariakoo markets to the serene shores of Kigamboni. The local art scene is a brilliant blend of traditional Tanzanian influences and modern urban expression. By bringing live painting to your event, you are tapping into that local creative spirit that makes Bongo move. Street art is a global language, and in a city as diverse as Dar, it serves as a bridge between cultures and generations.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Tingatinga painting style originated right here in Dar es Salaam? While our graffiti style is more modern, we take inspiration from the bold colours and storytelling traditions that have made Tanzanian art famous worldwide! 🎨

Pricing

Our live painting packages are fully customisable to suit your event's scale and your specific creative vision. Prices depend on group size, duration, and the setup required.
