Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants in Hawassa have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. Within minutes, you'll be feeling like a pro. We provide a safe, encouraging environment where mistakes are just part of the creative process and the focus is entirely on having a great time.

Is the workshop safe, and do you provide protective gear?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, to ensure you stay clean and safe while painting. We also use premium spray paint that meets safety standards. Our instructors are always on-site to guide the group on proper technique and ventilation, making sure everyone has a blast without any worries. Plus, the outdoor festival setting in Hawassa provides perfect natural airflow!

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, and stray paint mist happens! Sneakers or closed-toe shoes are a must so you can move around comfortably while you work on your masterpiece. Leave your fancy outfits for the main stage later!

How long does a typical festival session last?

For music festivals in Hawassa, we typically run sessions that last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the techniques and finish a piece without missing out on your favorite bands. We structure the workshop to be high-energy and fast-paced, ensuring you get the full street art experience while still keeping up with the festival schedule.

Can you customize the workshop for brand activations?

Yes, we love helping brands stand out! For festival activations, we can incorporate specific logos, brand colors, or themes into the workshop. Whether you want a collaborative mural that features your brand or specific stencils for guests to use, we can customize the entire experience to align with your marketing goals and create a massive social media buzz.

What happens if it rains during the festival?

The weather in Hawassa is usually beautiful, but if it rains, we've got you covered—literally! We can set up under large tents or move the workshop to a sheltered area within the festival grounds. Our team is flexible and experienced in handling outdoor events, so we always have a backup plan to ensure the creative fun doesn't stop just because of a few raindrops.

Do we need to pay in advance for the booking?

We believe in ultimate flexibility for our festival partners. There is no upfront payment required to book your date. You can finalize the details with us and only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we provide before any money changes hands. It's our way of showing we're confident you'll love what we do!
