Do I need to be an artist to join the Goma street art experience?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our professional graffiti artists are experts at guiding beginners of all ages and skill levels. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, controlling the pressure, and creating clean lines—before moving on to your festival masterpiece. Our goal is to make street art accessible and fun for everyone in Goma, ensuring you leave feeling like a pro.

Is the workshop safe and what should I wear?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our spray paints are selected for quality, and because our festival workshops in Goma are held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces, you can breathe easy while you create. Our instructors are always on hand to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly and safely throughout the session.

What materials are provided during the festival workshop?

Everything you need is included in the price! We provide professional-grade spray cans in a huge variety of vibrant colours, protective equipment, and the surfaces you’ll be painting on—whether that's a communal festival wall or individual canvases. You don't need to bring a thing except your energy and creativity. We even handle the setup and the cleanup afterwards!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard festival workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, learn essential techniques, and complete a full piece. However, for larger events in Goma or specific brand activations, we can adapt the timing to fit your schedule. It’s the perfect amount of time to get into the flow without getting tired.

Do you offer workshops in other Congolese cities?

Yes, we love traveling across the DR Congo! While Goma is a hub for our creative energy, we also bring our graffiti workshops and festival experiences to Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Mbuji-Mayi, and Kananga. Wherever you are planning your event, our team of artists is ready to bring the spray cans and the vibes to your location. Just let us know where the party is!

How do I book and do I have to pay upfront?

Booking is easy and stress-free with Graffitifun. You can fill out our contact form or use our online cost calculator to get an instant estimate. The best part? No upfront payment is required! You only pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We also have backup artists available to ensure your Goma event never faces a cancellation.

What is the minimum age for participants?

Street art is for everyone! Our festival workshops are designed to be inclusive, making them perfect for kids' parties, school groups, and adults alike. We typically recommend a minimum age of 6-8 years old so they can comfortably handle the spray cans, but we can adapt our teaching style to suit any age group. It’s a fantastic way for families in Goma to bond.

Can we create a team mural together?

Definitely! Often at festivals, we create large-scale collaborative murals where everyone contributes a piece to a giant work of art. Alternatively, we can arrange for individuals to work on their own canvases. Collaborative projects are amazing for team building and create a lasting visual memory of the festival spirit in Goma. We can tailor the output to match your specific vision.

Local culture

Goma is a city of incredible resilience and artistic soul. Nestled between the volcanic peaks of Nyiragongo and the serene waters of Lake Kivu, the "tourist capital" of the DR Congo is bursting with creative potential. Street art in Goma isn't just decoration; it's a powerful tool for storytelling and community connection. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, drawing inspiration from the rich textures and bold colours found in the city’s markets and landscapes.

Fun Fact: Did you know Goma is home to the Amani Festival? It’s one of the biggest music and arts festivals in Central Africa, proving that this city truly knows how to celebrate culture and peace through creativity! ✨

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as flexible as our art. Depending on your group size and the scale of your event, prices range from:

FC50,000 - FC120,000 per person

We believe in transparent pricing and 100% satisfaction. That’s why we offer a no-upfront payment policy—you only pay once the workshop is done and you're happy with the results!
