Do I need any prior art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our festival participants in Nelspruit 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 provide a safe, supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the vibrant street art you've managed to create from scratch.

What safety gear do you provide during the festival?

We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean. We use low-pressure spray paint which is easier to handle for beginners. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring that the festival remains a fun, accident-free environment for all our South African guests. Safety and creativity go hand-in-hand here!

How long does the graffiti workshop session last?

The workshop experience usually lasts between 90 minutes and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the introduction, sketching, practice runs, and the final creation of your masterpiece. Festivals are high-energy, so we keep the pace exciting while ensuring you don't feel rushed. You’ll have plenty of time to snap photos of your progress and the final result!

What should I wear to the street art festival workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'character' on. While we provide protective ponchos, spray paint mist can sometimes find its way onto shoes or sleeves. Old sneakers and jeans are your best bet. Since Nelspruit can get quite warm during festival season, breathable fabrics are a great choice for staying cool while you work.

What happens if the weather is bad or an artist is unavailable?

Festivals are unpredictable, but we aren't! We have a solid team of backup artists ready to step in if someone falls ill. Plus, we often use covered outdoor areas or indoor-outdoor hybrid setups to ensure that a bit of Lowveld rain doesn't dampen the creative spirit. We are committed to making sure your scheduled festival experience happens as planned, no matter what.

How does the 'no upfront payment' policy work?

We love the 'pay later' model because it builds trust. You don't have to worry about upfront digital transfers before you've even met us. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you're stoked with the results. We want you to focus on the art and the vibe of the Nelspruit festival first!

Can I take my artwork home after the event?

While we provide the large festival walls or canvases for the main event, you can often take home your individual practice boards or smaller canvases depending on the specific festival package chosen. It's a fantastic memento of your time in Nelspruit. Even if the 'wall' stays, the skills and the digital photos of your work last a lifetime!

Local culture

Nelspruit (Mbombela) serves as the vibrant gateway to the Kruger, but its urban heart is beating faster than ever with a growing appreciation for contemporary art. While the city is famous for its botanical gardens and citrus, the street art scene is beginning to bloom in the industrial and suburban corners, bringing a splash of modern colour to the Lowveld’s greenery. Our festivals tap into this unique "Bush-meets-Street" energy, creating a space where the wild spirit of Mpumalanga meets the grit of urban expression.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the word 'Mbombela' means 'many people in a small space'? It’s the perfect name for our festival atmosphere where the community comes together to create something massive! 🇿🇦
