Do my children need any artistic experience?

No prior drawing or painting experience is necessary to join our Bukavu holiday workshops. Our expert artists break down the process into easy-to-follow steps, starting with basic lines and moving to shading and 3D effects. Most participants are surprised by what they can create in a single afternoon. It is all about having fun and expressing your unique personality through the medium of spray paint.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for kids?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to all participants. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control, and our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor areas in Bukavu. Our professional instructors supervise the group at all times to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly and safely while creating their street art masterpieces.

What should participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you do not mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, aerosol mist can sometimes find its way onto sleeves or trainers. It is better to be safe than sorry! Since Bukavu can have unpredictable weather, bringing a light jacket or sun hat depending on the season is also a smart move for our outdoor sessions.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our holiday workshops typically last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This timeframe is the perfect 'sweet spot'—it is long enough to learn the core techniques and complete a full piece of art, but short enough to keep energy levels and focus high. We start with a brief safety intro and demo, followed by practice drills, and then diving into the main creative project.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything needed for a world-class street art experience! This includes a wide variety of professional spray paint colours, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and the 'canvas'—which is usually a large wooden panel or a dedicated wall space. You just need to bring your creativity and plenty of enthusiasm. We take care of all the setup and the messy cleanup afterwards.

Are the workshops suitable for different age groups?

Absolutely! We believe that street art is for everyone. While our school holiday programmes are popular with teenagers and kids, we often have parents or older siblings join in the fun. We can tailor the complexity of the designs to suit different age groups within the same session. It is a fantastic way for families in Bukavu to bond over a shared, colourful project during the break.

What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

We understand that plans can change. That is why we offer a flexible booking system with no upfront payment required. You can book your spot and pay after the workshop concludes. If you need to reschedule or cancel your Bukavu session, just let us know as soon as possible. We even have backup artists available to ensure your event goes ahead even if an instructor is unexpectedly unavailable.

Local culture

Bukavu is a city of incredible resilience and vibrant culture, perched beautifully on the shores of Lake Kivu. As the city continues to grow as a hub for education and trade in eastern DR Congo, the desire for modern, expressive art forms is skyrocketing. Our workshops draw inspiration from the lush green hills of South Kivu and the bustling energy of the local markets. We aim to contribute to Bukavu's budding creative scene by giving the youth a platform to express their voices through street art. From the panoramas near the Cathedral to the busy streets of Ibanda, the spirit of creativity is everywhere, and our graffiti sessions are the perfect way to tap into that local 'Bukavu vibe' while learning a global art form.

We offer competitive pricing for our Bukavu workshops to ensure street art is accessible to as many young creators as possible. Our holiday sessions vary in price based on the group size and the specific location setup.
