Do I need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Our Mwanza street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists start with the basics, including how to hold the spray can and control the nozzle. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive under our expert guidance. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself in a supportive, creative environment!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep you and your clothes clean. We use spray paints that comply with safety standards and always conduct our workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our artists provide a safety briefing before any cans are shaken, ensuring everyone knows how to use the equipment responsibly while having a blast.

What should I wear to the festival workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full protective gear including overalls, sometimes a little 'creative splatter' can find its way onto your trainers! Avoid wearing your brand-new Sunday best. Since we are in Mwanza, lightweight clothing is usually best to keep you cool while you work on your masterpiece.

How long does the workshop session last?

A standard festival workshop session typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic techniques, and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. We can also adapt the schedule to fit the specific timings of the Mwanza event, ensuring a high-energy experience that fits perfectly into your festival itinerary.

Are all materials included in the price?

We provide everything you need! This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surfaces we’ll be painting on—whether that’s large wooden boards, canvases, or a designated festival wall. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and perhaps a camera to snap some photos of your work before the festival ends!

What happens if it rains during the event?

Weather in Mwanza can be unpredictable, but we always have a plan B. If it rains, we usually move the workshop to a covered area or use sturdy marquees to keep the artists and the art dry. If the weather is truly extreme, we can reschedule or look at indoor alternatives. Our backup artist system also ensures that your event goes ahead even if there are personal emergencies.

Can I take my graffiti art home with me?

The final artwork's fate depends on the festival setup. Often, the large boards stay on display for the duration of the festival for everyone to admire. In some cases, if we are working on individual canvases, you may be able to take your creation home! For large-scale collaborative murals, they usually remain at the site as a lasting legacy of the Mwanza street art celebration!

Local culture

Mwanza, famously known as "Rock City" due to the spectacular Bismarck Rock and the surrounding granite outcrops, is the perfect backdrop for a street art revolution. The city's bustling energy and breathtaking views of Lake Victoria provide endless inspiration for any artist. While the city is steeped in tradition, there is a growing appetite for modern, urban expression that reflects the dynamic spirit of the lakeside community. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know that the iconic Bismarck Rock in Mwanza harbor isn't just a landmark? It's a symbol of the city's resilience and natural beauty—much like the enduring spirit of street art!

Participating in a graffiti workshop here means joining a movement that bridges the gap between Mwanza's natural wonders and the global urban art scene. From the busy markets to the serene hills of Isamilo, we draw from the local colours and vibes to create something truly "Mwanza" in every stroke. 🔥

Pricing

We believe every festival experience should be as unique as the art itself. Because requirements vary based on the number of participants, the amount of paint needed, and the duration of the event,เรา don't have a one-size-fits-all price tag. 💸
