Do I need any previous art experience to join the pop-up?

Absolutely! Most of our pop-up event guests in Mbeya have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, including safety and nozzle control, before moving on to cool techniques. We provide a supportive, judgment-free environment where everyone can feel like a street artist for the day. You'll be amazed at what you can create with just a little bit of guidance!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, to keep you clean and safe. Our workshops use professional-grade spray paint, and we perform all activities in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Our team also provides a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts painting, ensuring a fun and worry-free experience for all participants.

What should I wear to the graffiti event?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable! Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. We’ll handle all the creative supplies like cans, caps, and canvases, so you just need to bring your energy and enthusiasm to the Mbeya event.

Is this activity suitable for children and families?

Our Mbeya pop-up events are designed to be inclusive! Generally, we recommend a minimum age of 6-8 years old to ensure they can handle the spray cans comfortably. For younger children, we often have alternative creative activities so the whole family can join in. It’s a fantastic way for different generations to bond over a shared creative project.

Can we customise the theme of the workshop?

Yes, definitely! If you have a specific theme, brand logo, or colour palette in mind, our lead artists can work with you to incorporate it into the event. Whether it's a birthday celebration or a local Mbeya community project, we can tailor the templates and final mural designs to match your vision. Just let us know your ideas when you book!

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

The weather in the Southern Highlands can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. For our Mbeya pop-ups, we always aim to have a covered backup area or marquee ready to go. If the weather is really against us, our backup artist system ensures we can reschedule or adapt the format so your creative experience isn't ruined by a bit of rain.

How long does the workshop session typically last?

A standard pop-up workshop experience usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for introductions, technique practice, and completing a final masterpiece. We find this timeframe is perfect for keeping the energy high without getting too tired. If you're looking for a shorter 'drop-in' style activation for a festival, we can adjust that too!

Local culture

Mbeya is a city defined by its stunning natural landscapes, from the Loleza Peak to the lush coffee plantations. This rugged beauty provides the perfect backdrop for the raw, energetic spirit of graffiti. While the city is known for its agriculture and trade, there is a growing appetite for modern, urban expression. Our pop-up events tap into that local Mbeya energy, blending the traditional warmth of the Southern Highlands with the edgy, contemporary feel of street art.

Fun fact: Mbeya was founded as a gold mining town in the 1920s! Just as those miners struck gold in the hills, we’re helping locals find their creative "gold" through the power of public art and community collaboration. 🎨
