Do we need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to seasoned fine arts students. Our professional artists guide you through the process step-by-step, starting with basic can control and lettering. Most students are shocked by how professional their final piece looks after just a couple of hours. It’s all about vibe, technique, and having a blast!

Is the paint safe and how do you handle safety?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs happy. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment properly while having a great time.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Standard university workshops usually run between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a demo, practice sessions, and the creation of a final collaborative masterpiece. However, we are flexible! If you’re planning a massive campus-wide event or a quick ice-breaker for a specific faculty, we can adjust the timing to fit your schedule perfectly.

What is the maximum group size for a campus event?

We can accommodate almost any group size in Dar es Salaam. For smaller seminars or clubs, we offer intimate sessions for 10-15 people. For larger university festivals or orientation weeks, we can rotate hundreds of students through the workshop area over several hours. Just let us know your expected turnout, and we’ll bring enough artists and paint to keep everyone busy!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We bring everything! This includes a massive variety of spray paint colours, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas' (usually high-quality cellophane walls or large boards). You just need to show up in comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We even handle the setup and the intensive cleanup afterwards.

Can we host the workshop indoors or does it have to be outside?

We definitely prefer outdoor settings—it's safer for ventilation and fits the street art vibe perfectly. If the Tanzanian sun is too hot or it looks like rain, we can set up under a pavilion or large tent. If you really need to be indoors, we require a high-ceilinged space with extreme ventilation, but we'll always chat with you first to find the best local spot.

How does the payment process work?

No upfront payment is required! We believe in the quality of our workshops so much that you only pay after the event is completed. This makes the booking process stress-free for student unions and university treasurers. Once you're happy with the colourful results on campus, we'll handle the logistics. Just request a quote to get started with the booking!

Local culture

Dar es Salaam is a city that pulses with rhythm, and the street art scene here is no different. From the bustling vibes of Kariakoo to the chill coastal energy of the Peninsula, the visual language of 'Bongo' is everywhere. While traditional Tingatinga art is world-famous, the younger generation in Dar is increasingly embracing modern graffiti to tell their stories and celebrate Tanzanian identity. Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging students to blend international street art techniques with local Dar flair.

🎨 Fun Fact: Did you know that Dar es Salaam is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world? Use that explosive growth as your inspiration—the city's 'hustle' culture makes for some of the most vibrant and energetic street art designs you'll ever create!
