Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival attendees?

Absolutely! We prioritize safety above all else. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for all participants. Our professional artists are trained to manage crowds and ensure that the spray cans are used responsibly. Whether it is a small community fair or a massive music festival in Mekelle, we keep the environment clean and the participants safe while they unleash their creativity.

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

We are extremely flexible! We can set up large-scale wooden partitions, use mobile canvas walls, or even provide 'live' art on cellophane wrapped between trees. This allows us to create a pop-up studio anywhere in Mekelle. We handle the entire setup and breakdown, so as a festival organiser, you do not have to worry about a thing except providing the space for us to work our magic.

How many people can participate at once?

We can accommodate almost any group size. For festivals, we usually run a 'walk-in' style workshop where hundreds of people can contribute to a collective mural throughout the day. Alternatively, we can host scheduled sessions for smaller groups of 10-20 people at a time. This high-throughput model ensures that as many festival-goers as possible get to experience the thrill of spray painting.

Do you provide all the materials and paint?

Yes, we bring everything! From a massive variety of spray paint colours and specialized nozzles to protective gear and the painting surfaces themselves, Graffitifun provides a total package. You do not need to source any materials locally in Mekelle. Our team arrives fully equipped and ready to start the party. We even bring cleaning supplies to ensure the area stays tidy.

Can the graffiti art be themed to match our festival?

While we encourage free expression, we can definitely work with a theme. Whether your festival is about Ethiopian heritage, environmental awareness, or modern music, we can pre-sketch a design that fits your vision. Our artists will then guide the public to fill in the 'masterpiece,' ensuring the final result looks professional and aligns perfectly with your event's branding or message.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

We are used to the Ethiopian sun! We usually set up gazebos or tents to provide shade for the participants and to keep the paint from overheating. If it rains, we can move the activation under a permanent structure or use our heavy-duty pop-up tents. We always have a 'Plan B' ready so that the festival fun in Mekelle never has to stop, regardless of the weather.
