Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Our street art festival experiences in Jimma are designed with beginners in mind. You don't need any prior drawing or painting skills. Our professional artists will guide you through the process, from holding the spray can correctly to layering colours and creating shapes. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, and they always leave with a masterpiece they are proud of. It's all about having fun and being creative!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean and ensure you don't breathe in fumes. We also use professional-grade spray paint that is safe when used according to our instructions. Our workshop leads are experienced professionals who supervise the entire process, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone from kids to adults during the festival.

What should I wear and bring to the event?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on, just in case. While we provide protective suits and gloves, street art can be messy! Since Jimma can be quite humid or rainy, it's also a good idea to bring a light jacket. We provide all the professional art supplies, including spray cans, nozzles, and canvases, so you just need to bring your energy and creativity.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Our standard festival workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time for you to complete your own piece. If you are part of a larger festival program, we can adjust the timing to fit the schedule. It’s the perfect duration to get a real feel for the art without feeling rushed.

Is this activity suitable for children and school groups?

Yes, we love bringing graffiti to schools, youth centres, and kids' parties! Our workshops are highly engaging and help young people express themselves in a positive, constructive way. We adapt our teaching style to be age-appropriate, ensuring the kids have a blast while learning about the culture of street art. It's a fantastic way to build confidence and teamwork skills in a vibrant, artistic setting right here in Jimma.

What is the payment and cancellation policy?

We believe in our service so much that we don't require any payment until the workshop is actually happening. You can book your spot or your group event with total peace of mind. If plans change or things don't go as expected, we work with you to reschedule. Plus, we always have backup artists available to ensure your festival experience in Jimma goes off without a hitch. Your satisfaction is our guarantee!
