I have zero artistic talent, can I still join?

Absolutely! Most of our Dire Dawa guests have never touched a spray can before. Our onboarding workshop is specifically designed for beginners. We start with the basics of nozzle control and safety, moving gradually to lines, fills, and shading. Our professional artists stay by your side to guide your hand, ensuring you walk away with a piece of art you're actually proud of!

What materials are included in the onboarding workshop?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colors, professional-grade masks for safety, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or wall space and the expert guidance of our local instructors. Just bring your energy and some comfortable shoes!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority in Dire Dawa. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and ensure workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. All our spray paints are professional-grade and handled under the supervision of experienced artists. We also provide protective gear to ensure no paint ends up on your skin or clothes during the process.

How long does the workshop last?

Our standard onboarding sessions in Dire Dawa typically last between 2 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a safety demo, practice sessions, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you are booking for a large corporate team or a specific event, we can adjust the timing to fit your schedule.

Where do the workshops take place in Dire Dawa?

We are flexible! We can host workshops at various vibrant locations around Dire Dawa, or we can bring the entire setup to your location if you have a suitable outdoor space. Whether it's at a local community hub or your office courtyard, we make sure the environment is inspiring and safe for a day of creative expression.

Do I need to pay in advance?

One of the best parts about Graffitifun is our 'play now, pay later' policy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your booking in Dire Dawa. You can pay after the workshop once you've seen the results and had an amazing time. We believe in our service so much that we want you to be 100% satisfied first!

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable, casual clothes and closed-toe shoes. While we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy, so it’s best not to wear your absolute favorite designer outfit. Think of it as a fun, active day where you might get a tiny splash of color as a souvenir!

Stress Buster: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the "psshhh" sound of a spray can. It’s the ultimate way to de-stress. 🌈
Zero Experience Needed: Our "onboarding" style means we start from scratch. You don't need to be Picasso to look like a pro. 💪
Epic Team Bonding: Forget boring meetings. Create a giant mural together and see your team's communication reach new heights! 🤝

Local culture

Dire Dawa is a city unlike any other in Ethiopia. From the French-influenced streets of Kezira to the bustling traditional markets of Megala, the city is a melting pot of styles and stories. Our workshops tap into this local "Dire" energy, drawing inspiration from the colorful fabrics of the markets and the industrial charm of the old railway tracks. The city's relaxed, warm vibe makes it the perfect place to let your guard down and let your creativity flow. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Dire Dawa was founded because of the Ethio-Djibouti Railway? That's why the city feels so organized and international compared to others! It’s the perfect backdrop for a modern art form like graffiti. 🚂
