I have never done graffiti before; can I still participate?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the pressure and handle the nozzles. Within minutes, you'll be creating clean lines and fills. It is all about the vibe and expressing yourself, so don't worry about being perfect—just have fun with it! 🎨

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece in Dessie. This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colors, professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your festival outfit clean. We also provide the canvases or temporary walls. You just need to bring your energy and a bit of creative spark! ✨

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

At a music festival, safety is our top priority. We use high-quality paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced professionals who ensure everyone follows safety guidelines while having a blast. We make sure the environment is safe for both creators and festival bypassers. 💪

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard festival workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours, but we are flexible! For large music festivals in Dessie, we can run continuous 'drop-in' sessions where people can contribute to a massive communal mural throughout the day. This allows more people to join the fun without missing their favorite band's set. 🎤

Do I need to pay in advance?

You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book with Graffitifun. We believe in our service and want you to feel confident. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we've delivered. We keep it easy and stress-free so you can focus on the music! 🏆

Can we take our artwork home after the festival?

Yes! If we are doing individual canvas workshops, you can definitely take your artwork home as a unique festival souvenir. If we are working on a large-scale communal mural, it usually stays at the festival as a landmark piece. Either way, you'll have some epic photos and great memories of your time as a street artist in Dessie. 📸

Local culture

Dessie, tucked away in the beautiful highlands of the Amhara Region, has a soul that beats to the rhythm of both history and modern vibes. Known as a major hub between Addis Ababa and the north, it’s a city of merchants, scholars, and increasingly, a younger generation hungry for new forms of expression. Bringing a graffiti workshop to a music festival here isn't just about paint; it's about connecting with the local "Dessie-ite" spirit of resilience and celebration. 🏙️

Fun Fact: Did you know Dessie's name translates to "My Joy" in Amharic? Legend has it that Emperor Yohannes IV chose the name after seeing a bright light in the night sky! We think your glowing graffiti art will fit right in. ✨
