Is the graffiti workshop safe for people with special needs?

Yes, safety is our top priority for every participant in Bahir Dar. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls. Our artists are trained to supervise participants with various needs, ensuring spray cans are used safely and correctly. We only use professional-grade materials that meet safety standards, and we always maintain a supportive, low-pressure environment where everyone feels secure exploring their creative side.

Can you accommodate participants with physical disabilities?

Absolutely! We believe art should be accessible to everyone. Our workshop locations in Bahir Dar are selected for their accessibility, and our instructors are experienced in adapting their teaching methods. Whether someone has mobility challenges, sensory sensitivities, or intellectual disabilities, we adjust the pace, tools, and techniques to ensure everyone can fully participate and enjoy the thrill of spraying their own masterpiece.

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard special needs session typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. However, we are very flexible. In Bahir Dar, we understand that some groups might need more frequent breaks or a slower pace. We can shorten the session or extend it with more rest intervals to match the energy levels and attention spans of the participants, ensuring the experience remains fun and never overwhelming.

What materials do we need to provide?

We provide everything! Your group doesn't need to bring a thing. We supply all the professional spray cans in a rainbow of colours, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and large canvases or plastic walls to paint on. We even bring the inspiration! We recommend participants wear comfortable shoes and old clothes just in case, but our protective gear does a great job of keeping everyone clean.

Where in Bahir Dar do the workshops take place?

Our workshops are mobile! While we have several preferred outdoor and indoor spots near the city centre and Lake Tana, we can also come to your specific location in Bahir Dar. If your school, care centre, or community hall has a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area, our artists will bring the entire graffiti experience directly to you for maximum convenience.

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

Booking is simple and risk-free. You can reach out to us via our contact form to discuss your group's specific needs and preferred dates. We don't require any upfront payment – you only pay after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% happy with the experience we provide for your special group in Bahir Dar.

Good to know

Our workshops are built around flexibility and care. A typical session lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours, but we can easily adapt this to suit the stamina of the participants. We work with small groups to ensure individual attention, usually keeping a high artist-to-participant ratio for safety and guidance. All professional equipment—including low-pressure spray cans that are easier to handle, high-grade masks, and protective overalls—is included in the package. We also ensure that every venue used is fully accessible and has adequate facilities. Safety is our number one priority, and our artists are experienced in working with diverse needs across Ethiopia.

Local culture

Bahir Dar is a city known for its natural beauty and its soul-stirring blue waters, but it is also a place of growing modern expression. By bringing our graffiti workshops here, we are adding a new layer of contemporary culture to the "Ethiopian Riviera." We often take inspiration from the local surroundings—the palm-lined avenues and the spirit of the Blue Nile—incorporating these vibes into our spray paint sessions. Whether we are hosting a session near the city centre or at a local community space, the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of Bahir Dar makes it the perfect location for a stress-free, creative getaway. We love seeing how the local "Abay" spirit shines through in the bold colours and unique designs created by our participants.
