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

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Goma have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who will guide you through the process step-by-step. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. You’ll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create by the end of the session, regardless of your previous artistic experience.🎨

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Goma's tropical climate can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. We have access to several sheltered and indoor creative spaces across the city. If the weather doesn't cooperate for an outdoor wall session, we simply move the party inside to a ventilated studio or workshop area. Your creative flow won't be interrupted by a little bit of rain!🌧️

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority in Goma. We provide high-quality, professional-grade respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We only use certified spray paints and work in well-ventilated environments. Our artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone even shakes a can. We make sure the fun is matched by total peace of mind.🛡️

What should I wear and bring with me?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on! While we provide protective overalls, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves. Comfortable trainers are best for standing and moving around your canvas. Aside from your enthusiasm and a camera to capture the memories, we provide everything else: paint, masks, gloves, and inspiration!👟

How long does the experience last?

A standard tourist workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, safety demo, technique practice, and the creation of your final piece. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' for visitors—it’s long enough to learn a new skill and get deeply creative, but short enough to fit into a busy day of sightseeing in Goma.⏱️

Can I book this for a large travel group?

We love hosting groups! Our workshops are perfect for solo travellers looking to meet people, couples, or large tour groups exploring DR Congo. Because we have multiple backup artists and a deep bench of talent, we can scale our events to accommodate dozens of people at once. Just let us know your group size when booking, and we’ll tailor the setup.👥

Local culture

Goma is a city defined by its incredible resilience and exploding creative energy. Situated at the foot of the Nyiragongo volcano and on the shores of Lake Kivu, the local street art scene here is unlike anywhere else in the world. Artists in Goma use murals to tell stories of peace, unity, and the vibrant Congolese spirit. When you join our workshop, you're not just painting; you're joining a conversation that happens on the walls of neighborhoods like Birere and Majengo. 🎨

Fun Fact: Goma hosts the world-renowned 'Amani Festival,' where street art and music combine to promote peace in the region. Many of the artists you'll work with are active contributors to this incredible cultural movement!

Pricing

We believe great art experiences should be accessible to everyone. Our pricing is flexible based on how you want to experience the Goma street art scene:

Workshop Prices: FC 50,000 – FC 120,000 per person

The final price depends on your group size, the duration of the session, and the choice of materials (e.g., painting on a permanent wall vs. taking home a canvas). Remember, we require no upfront payment—you only pay after you've had an amazing time!
