Is all the equipment provided at the festival?

Yes, we take care of everything! We provide premium aerosol cans in a rainbow of colors, high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your festival outfit clean. You just need to bring your creative energy and a comfortable pair of shoes. Since Addis can get sunny, we also suggest wearing a hat, though we usually set up in shaded areas or under the festival marquees.

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

Absolutely not! Our music festival experiences are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional Graffitifun artists will guide you through the process, from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We believe everyone has an inner artist waiting to break out, especially when inspired by the incredible music and atmosphere of an Addis Ababa festival.

How do you handle safety during a crowded music festival?

Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odor spray paint whenever possible and provide top-tier FFP2 respiratory masks and nitrile gloves to all participants. Our instructors are trained to manage crowds and ensure that the painting area remains a safe zone for both the participants and the festival-goers walking nearby. We also have a 'backup artist' policy to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned.

What kind of surfaces can we paint on at the event?

We are incredibly flexible. While we love working on large-scale plywood walls that become permanent festival installations, we can also set up mobile 'cellograff' walls (plastic wrap between poles) or even workshop stations for hats and t-shirts. Whether your festival is at the Exhibition Center or an outdoor park in Bole, we adapt our setup to fit your specific venue layout and crowd size.

How long does a typical festival workshop session last?

The beauty of our festival workshops is that people can drop in and out. A full guided session usually takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours for a complete masterpiece. However, for music festivals, we often run shorter 20-minute 'express' sessions so more people can have a go between their favorite bands' sets without missing the headline act.

Can the festival organizers keep the finished artwork?

Definitely! Once the festival is over, the boards belong to you. Many organizers choose to display the finished graffiti art at future events, in their office spaces, or even auction them off for local Addis charities. It serves as a colorful, physical memory of the incredible energy of the festival and the collective creativity of the crowd.

Local culture

Addis Ababa is a city that never stops evolving, and its street art scene is no different. From the vibrant murals near the Churchill Road to the hidden gems in the bustling streets of Piassa, the capital is a canvas of cultural expression. By bringing a graffiti workshop to your music festival here, you are tapping into the genuine "Habesha" creative spirit. We celebrate the intersection of traditional Ethiopian motifs and modern urban art. Our workshops respect the local flow, providing a space where the city's youth and international visitors alike can connect through the universal language of art and music. We know the shortcuts of Bole and the energy of the Meskel Square gatherings, and we bring that local knowledge to every event we host.

Our festival packages are as unique as your lineup. Pricing typically ranges from Br1500 to Br3500 per person, depending on the scale of the installation and the total number of participants.

We pride ourselves on transparency: No upfront payment is required—you only pay after the workshop is complete and you're 100% satisfied with the vibe.
