Do I need any prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely no prior art experience is needed! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists lead you through every step, starting with simple spray techniques before moving on to complex designs. We focus on the 'fun' in Graffitifun, ensuring you feel confident and creative by the time you pick up your first spray can.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need for a complete street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray cans in a wide variety of colors, high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or surfaces you'll be working on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves to all participants. Our instructors are professional artists who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated and that everyone follows the correct distance and handling procedures throughout the entire session.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Mekelle's weather is usually beautiful, but if it rains, we have you covered. We can either move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor area or use an indoor space with proper ventilation. Because we have a large network of artists and flexible setups, we can almost always adapt to the weather or reschedule to ensure you get the best possible creative experience without getting soaked.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard onboarding or team-building workshop in Mekelle typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for an introduction to graffiti history, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. If you have specific time constraints for your event, we can customize the duration to fit your schedule perfectly.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are very flexible with group sizes! Whether you are a small startup team of 5 people or a large department of 50+, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone receives personal guidance and remains engaged. We find that a group size of 10-20 per artist works best for the most interactive experience.

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. We trust our clients and want the booking process to be as stress-free as possible. You can settle the payment via bank transfer or other agreed methods after the workshop is successfully completed and your team is buzzing with inspiration.

Local culture

Mekelle is a city that prides itself on its unique blend of ancient history and rapid modern growth. From the bustling markets around the Atse Yohannes IV Palace to the academic energy of Mekelle University, there is a pulse of innovation here that is perfect for street art. While the local art scene is traditionally focused on beautiful ecclesiastical paintings, the younger generation in Mekelle is increasingly embracing modern urban expression. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Mekelle is known as the "city of bicycles"? The flat, wide avenues make it one of the most bike-friendly cities in Ethiopia, giving it a relaxed, flowy vibe that matches the rhythmic motion of spray painting perfectly! 🚲

Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging participants to incorporate Ethiopian motifs and modern Mekelle vibes into their graffiti designs. It's a bridge between tradition and the future.
