Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our Jimma music festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creators. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and safety. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive. Whether you are a local student or a visitor attending the festival, we ensure you have the skills to make your mark confidently. 🎨

Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival attendees?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Because we operate in an outdoor festival environment in Jimma, we ensure there is plenty of ventilation. Our instructors are experienced professionals who supervise the use of spray cans at all times, making this a safe, high-energy activity for festival-goers of all ages. ✨

What kind of materials do you provide?

We use professional-grade, high-pressure spray paint specifically designed for street art. We also provide various 'caps' or nozzles that allow you to change the thickness of your lines. For festivals, we often use vibrant, quick-drying colors that look amazing under the Ethiopian sun. All materials, including the canvases or temporary walls, are included in the workshop price, so you just need to bring your energy! 🎈

How long does a typical festival workshop last?

The duration is flexible to fit the festival vibe! We offer quick 'drop-in' sessions that last about 30-45 minutes for those who want to get back to the music, as well as full intensive workshops lasting up to 3 hours. We can customize the schedule to match the festival's set times, ensuring you don't miss your favorite headline act while you are busy creating your masterpiece. 🕒

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you can! Depending on the festival setup, we usually have participants work on individual canvases that you can take home as a unique souvenir. For larger collaborative murals, we often take high-quality photos of the finished piece so you can share your contribution on social media. It serves as a permanent memory of your incredible weekend in Jimma. 📸

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty, though we do provide protective gear. Since Jimma can be quite sunny, we also recommend wearing a hat and sunscreen. We handle everything else, from the paint to the inspiration! Just bring your creativity and perhaps some water to stay hydrated while you work on your street art project. 👕

Do you offer workshops in other Ethiopian cities? 💡

Absolutely! We love traveling across Ethiopia. While we are highlighting our Jimma festival experiences, we also provide workshops for festivals and events in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Mekelle, and Adama. Our team is fully mobile and can bring the entire graffiti setup to any major city or remote festival location in the country. Just let us know where the party is! 🌍
