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

Absolutely no experience is required! Most of our festival participants in Likasi have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the can to mastering pressure control. We create a supportive, high-energy environment where the goal is to have fun and express yourself. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create with just a little bit of guidance and a lot of enthusiasm.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for participants?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas, which is perfect for the Likasi climate. Our instructors are trained to monitor the group and ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly. We use professional-grade paints that offer the best results while adhering to safety standards, ensuring a worry-free experience for all ages.

How long does a typical session last?

A standard festival workshop session usually lasts between 90 minutes and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the completion of a final group or individual piece. For larger street art festivals in Likasi, we often run rotating sessions so that as many people as possible get a chance to pick up a can and make their mark throughout the day.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we do provide protective overalls, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto sleeves or shoes if you're getting really into the zone! Since Likasi can get quite warm, breathable fabrics are a plus. Other than that, just bring your energy and your imagination; we provide everything else you need.

What happens if an artist is unavailable?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We have a deep bench of professional artists, meaning we have backup street art experts ready to step in if someone falls ill. This ensures your event in Likasi goes ahead exactly as planned. We pride ourselves on reliability and professionalism, so you can book your festival activation with total peace of mind knowing we won't let your crowd down.

Do you offer workshops for private groups or schools?

Yes, we love making celebrations extra special! Beyond festivals, we offer tailored workshops for primary and secondary schools, high-energy kids' birthday parties, and even unique bachelor or bachelorette parties in Likasi. We also work with businesses for team-building events and brand activations. Each session is customised to the age group and the vibe of the event, ensuring everyone walks away with a smile and a sense of achievement.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun experience for your next event in Likasi? It's more than just painting; it's about connection, creativity, and pure fun. Here is why we’re the best choice for your street art fix:

Pro artist vibes: You'll learn from real street artists who live and breathe this culture. 🎤
Zero stress: No upfront payments! We trust you, and we’re confident you’ll love the experience.
Reliability guaranteed: With our network of backup artists, we never cancel on you. Show must go on! 🏆

Everything included: We handle the mess and the materials—you just enjoy the spray! 🚀
Customisable: Want to paint a specific theme? We can tailor the workshop to match your festival's vibe.

Step by step

The warm-up: Every artist starts with a proper intro. We'll meet at the festival site, get you geared up, and talk through the plan for the day.
Safety first: We'll show you how to fit your mask and gloves correctly. Safety is our top priority so you can focus on the fun part! 🛡️
The 'can control' lesson: Learn the secret to thin lines, fat caps, and fading. You'll practice your first sprays on a test surface to get the feel for the pressure.
Sketching your vision: Use chalk or light spray to outline your design. Our Likasi artists will help you refine your proportions and layout.
Filling in the colour: This is where the magic happens! We'll teach you how to fill large areas smoothly and how to blend colours for that classic street art look.
Adding the 'pop': Learn how to add highlights and sharp outlines to make your graffiti jump off the wall. This stage really brings the piece to life.
The finishing touches: Add your 'tag' or signature. We'll help you refine any drips or edges until you're 100% happy with your work. ✨
Photo op: Strike a pose with your finished masterpiece. It's time to show off your new skills to the world! 📸

Local culture

Likasi, often called 'Ville de Montagne' (Mountain City) due to its stunning surrounding hills, has an energy like no other. Known for its mining heritage, the city is a hub of industry and hard work, which makes the contrast of colourful, expressive street art even more powerful. We love bringing our workshops here because the local community has such a vibrant, rhythmic spirit that translates perfectly onto a concrete canvas. 🌍

Fun Fact: Did you know Likasi was once known as Jadotville? It has a rich, complex history that local artists often draw inspiration from when creating modern murals. When we host a street art festival in Likasi, we’re not just painting walls—we’re adding to the living history of this incredible city. 💥
