Is it safe to have a graffiti workshop at a crowded festival?

Absolutely! While Hawassa's festivals are high-energy, we set up designated zones with protective flooring and barriers. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists supervise the area at all times to ensure that the creativity stays on the canvas and everyone remains safe while having the time of their lives.

What kind of space do you need at the festival grounds?

We are totally flexible! Whether you are hosting a lakeside music event or a cultural celebration in the city center, we bring everything to you. We can set up mobile graffiti walls, use large canvases, or even create temporary structures. All we need is a flat surface and a bit of space for your guests to move around and express themselves freely.

Is this activity suitable for all ages at the festival?

The beauty of graffiti is that it’s for everyone! In Hawassa, we see kids, teenagers, and even grandparents giving it a try. We tailor our guidance based on the age and skill level of the participant. For younger children, we focus on simple shapes and bright colours, while adults can experiment with more complex shading and lettering techniques.

How long does a typical festival graffiti session last?

We usually recommend 2 to 3 hours for a full workshop experience, but for festivals, we often run 'walk-in' sessions that last anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes per person. This allows a high rotation of guests to participate throughout the day. We can adapt the timing to fit your specific festival schedule and the expected flow of visitors.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

No way! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our Graffitifun artists are experts at breaking down the basics of can control, overlapping, and outlining. Most people in Hawassa are surprised by how quickly they can create something impressive. We provide stencils and outlines to help anyone feel like a pro street artist in minutes.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

We think ahead! For outdoor festivals in Hawassa, we can provide pop-up tents or move the workshop to a covered area if the weather turns. Our spray paint is weather-resistant once dry, but we always have a Plan B (and backup artists) to ensure the creative fun doesn't stop just because of a little rain or intense sun.
