Do I need to have any drawing or painting experience?

You definitely don't need to be an artist to join our Port Harcourt workshop! Most of our visitors have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering different nozzles. We focus on fun and expression, so whether you're a complete beginner or a hobbyist, you'll leave with something you're proud of.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for everyone?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We generally use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control, especially for beginners. All our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces to ensure everyone can breathe easily while they create their masterpieces.

How long does the workshop session last?

A standard tourist workshop in Port Harcourt usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on practice before you start on your final piece. If you have a tight travel schedule, just let us know and we can potentially adjust the timing to suit your group.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day! This includes a wide variety of spray paint colors, different types of caps (nozzles) for various effects, protective clothing, and the surfaces you'll be painting on. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty while exploring the creative side of Port Harcourt.

Can I book a private workshop for my family or friends?

We love hosting groups! Our workshops are perfect for families, travel buddies, or solo travelers looking to meet new people. While we have a minimum group size for private bookings, individuals can often join scheduled open sessions. For large groups, we bring in extra artists to ensure everyone gets personalized attention and enough space to spray their hearts out.

Is there a deposit required to book a session?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexible booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your spot. You can book your date and time, and then pay after the workshop is completed. This gives you peace of mind and flexibility while navigating your travel plans in Nigeria. We accept various payment methods for your convenience.

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

The Garden City can be unpredictable with its tropical rain! If the weather doesn't cooperate for an outdoor session, we usually have sheltered backup locations available. Because we have a team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel. If the weather is truly extreme, we'll work with you to reschedule or find a creative indoor solution so you don't miss out.

Local culture

Port Harcourt, affectionately known as 'Phcity' or the 'Garden City', has a vibe that is unmatched. From the rhythmic sounds of highlife and afrobeats to the bustling markets at Oil Mill, the city is a canvas of energy. While PH is famous for its industrial strength, there is a growing underground art scene that finds beauty in the urban grit. Our workshops tap into this 'Naija' spirit of creativity and resilience.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Port Harcourt was named after Lewis Vernon Harcourt, but the locals have truly made it their own through a unique blend of Kalabari, Ikwerre, and Okrika cultures? This "melting pot" energy is exactly what we channel into our spray art! 🍍

When you join us, you’re not just painting; you’re connecting with the local rhythm. We often set up our workshops in spots that capture the authentic essence of the city, allowing you to breathe in the local atmosphere while you create. It’s an immersive cultural experience that connects you with the heart of Rivers State.
