How long does a typical school holiday graffiti workshop last?

Our school holiday graffiti workshops in Jijiga usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This duration is perfectly timed to keep students engaged without them getting tired. We start with a brief history of street art and safety rules, followed by sketching, and finally the main event where they use the spray cans to create their masterpiece. It is a high-energy session from start to finish!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide all participants with protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls to keep their clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise the use of spray cans at all times. We use low-pressure cans that are easier for kids and teens to control, ensuring a safe and fun creative environment for everyone involved.

What materials do we need to provide for the workshop?

You don't need to bring a thing! Graffitifun provides everything required for the ultimate street art experience in Jijiga. This includes all premium spray cans in every color of the rainbow, caps, protective clothing, and the canvases or boards we will be painting on. Just make sure the participants wear comfortable old shoes, as those are the only things we can't fully protect from a stray paint drop!

Can we book a workshop for a small group or is it only for big schools?

Absolutely! While we love hosting larger groups from youth centers or holiday programs, we also cater to smaller private groups. Our pricing is flexible based on your group size. No matter the number of participants, we ensure every student gets individual attention and guidance from our pro artists to help them develop their unique tagging and painting style.

Where in Jijiga do the graffiti workshops take place?

We are very flexible! While we often work at schools or community centers, we can also host workshops at various outdoor locations or partner venues across Jijiga. If you have a specific spot in mind, let us know! We just need a well-ventilated space (preferably outdoors) where we can set up our mobile graffiti walls. We bring the art studio directly to you!

Do the participants need to have any prior drawing or art skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We believe everyone has an inner artist waiting to break out. Our instructors guide participants through the basics of 'can control,' lettering, and shading. By the end of the session, even those who thought they couldn't draw a straight line will be amazed at the professional-looking graffiti piece they've created. It's all about fun and expression.

How do I book a workshop and when do I have to pay?

Booking is easy and stress-free. You don't even have to pay anything upfront! Simply contact us with your preferred dates and group size. We will check our availability and send you a custom quote. Once you're happy, we'll lock in the date. You only pay after the workshop is successfully completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the creative experience we provided.

Local culture

Jijiga is a city on the move, known for its vibrant commerce and the iconic Karamara Mountains standing guard in the distance. Bringing street art here is about merging modern urban expression with the deep-rooted cultural pride of the Somali people. From the bustling markets near the Taiwan area to the growing neighborhoods, there’s an energy in the air that’s perfect for the raw, expressive nature of graffiti. We love working in Jijiga because the youth here are full of untapped potential and "Somalinimo" spirit. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Jijiga was one of the first cities in Ethiopia to have a modern urban plan? It’s the perfect grid for finding the best spots for a mural! ✨

While we work across the country in places like Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa, there is something special about the creative spark in Jijiga that always results in the most colorful workshop pieces.
