Do I need to be an artist to join a pop-up event?

Absolutely! Most of our pop-up participants in Jijiga have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists walk you through everything from basic safety to advanced fading techniques. We start with simple lines and shapes on practice surfaces before moving to the main event. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create in just a couple of hours with the right guidance. Experience isn't required—only a desire to have fun!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Jijiga to ensure constant airflow. Our artists are trained in safety protocols and will supervise the use of all materials throughout the session to ensure everyone has a blast without any risks.

What should I wear to the graffiti experience?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little dusty, even though we provide protective suits. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Since Jijiga can get quite warm, breathable fabrics are your best friend. We provide all the specialized gear, including cans, caps, and masks, so just bring your energy and maybe a bottle of water to stay hydrated while you work!

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

While we love the vibe of Jijiga's sunny days, we always have a plan B! If the weather looks like it might rain, we have access to covered outdoor areas or can reschedule the pop-up to a better time. We also notify all participants in advance if changes occur. Our backup artist system ensures that even if one instructor is unavailable, the show goes on without a hitch.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard pop-up workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of your artwork. For larger events or brand activations in the Somali Region, we can extend the duration or run multiple sessions throughout the day to accommodate more people. It’s the perfect length for a high-energy creative break!

How do I book a spot for a group in Jijiga?

It's super easy! You don't even need to pay upfront. Simply use our online cost calculator or contact us through the website to request a custom quote. Once we agree on the details—location, group size, and date—your spot is reserved. We believe in the quality of our work so much that we offer a 100% satisfaction focus, ensuring your Jijiga street art experience is nothing short of legendary.
