Do I need prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our Gondar street art festival attendees have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists guide you through everything from basic nozzle control to advanced layering techniques. We provide a supportive environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the creative process. You'll be amazed at the high-quality piece you can create in just a couple of hours with our expert help.

What tools and materials are included in the workshop?

We provide all the necessary professional-grade equipment. This includes high-quality spray cans with various nozzles, protective coveralls, gloves, and respiratory masks for your safety. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space. The only thing you need to bring is your energy and some old shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty while you work under the Gondar sun!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality, low-odor spray paint and provide professional respiratory masks and gloves to every participant. Our instructors are trained in site safety and manage the spray area to ensure proper ventilation and distance. We also ensure that all street art activities are conducted on legal, authorized surfaces within the festival grounds.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

For our festival setup in Gondar, individual sessions usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives you enough time to learn the basics, sketch your design, and complete a full-color piece. However, because it's a festival environment, the energy keeps going all day! We recommend arriving 15 minutes before your scheduled slot to get geared up.

Can we book this for a large group or school trip?

Yes, we love hosting large groups! Whether it's a school trip from Addis Ababa, a corporate team-building event, or a large group of friends visiting Gondar, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we rotate participants through the spray zone to ensure everyone gets personalized attention from our artists while maintaining a high-energy festival atmosphere for those waiting.

What is the payment process for the workshop?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. You don't need to pay anything upfront! You can book your spot and pay after the workshop is completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. We accept local currency (ETB) and can provide digital payment options upon request.

What happens if the scheduled artist cannot make it?

We have a dedicated team of backup artists ready to step in. Because we operate across multiple cities like Dire Dawa and Mekelle, we have a deep pool of talent. If an artist has an emergency, we dispatch a replacement immediately so your festival experience is never interrupted. We guarantee that your event will happen as planned, no matter what.

Local culture

Gondar is a city where every stone tells a story, from the towering Fasil Ghebbi to the serene paintings in Debre Berhan Selassie. Our street art festival honors this artistic heritage by blending ancient motifs with modern graffiti styles. We believe that today's spray-painted murals are the natural evolution of the vibrant frescoes that have adorned Gondar's walls for centuries. The cool mountain air and the dramatic skyline of the Simien Mountains in the distance provide the perfect atmosphere for an outdoor creative session. ✨

Fun fact: Did you know that Gondar was the capital of Ethiopia for over 200 years? The city’s traditional art style is known for its "Gondarine" eyes—large, expressive eyes on religious figures. Ask our artists how to incorporate this iconic local look into your graffiti character! 🇪🇹
