Do we need any previous art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most university students in Mekelle who join our workshops have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, from how to hold the can to mastering pressure control. We provide all the guidance you need to go from a total beginner to creating a piece of art you're proud of by the end of the session. It's all about having fun and being creative!

Is the workshop safe for university students?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean and your lungs safe. We primarily use low-pressure spray cans which are much easier to control and safer for beginners. Our instructors are experienced pros who supervise the entire session to ensure everyone follows safety protocols while having a blast.

Where in Mekelle does the workshop take place?

We are totally flexible! We can bring the workshop directly to your campus in Mekelle if there is a suitable outdoor space with proper ventilation. Alternatively, we have access to cool local spots and urban walls where you can get the full authentic street art experience. Just let us know your preference when booking, and we will handle the logistical heavy lifting for you.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard university workshop usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific schedule or a tight window between lectures, we can customize the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray paint in a wide variety of vibrant colors, caps (nozzles) for different effects, protective gear (masks, gloves, suits), and the surface to paint on (either a mobile wall or canvases). You don't need to bring anything except your energy and some old shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty!

How does the payment process work?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'play now, pay later' policy. You don't need to make any upfront payments to secure your date. You can pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods, making it super easy for university clubs or student unions to handle the budget.

What happens if the artist is unavailable?

While we haven't had to cancel yet, we have a deep roster of backup artists in the region. If your primary lead artist is unavailable due to an emergency, a qualified backup will step in to ensure your event goes off without a hitch. We are committed to showing up and delivering a high-energy experience for your university group no matter what.

Local culture

Mekelle is a city known for its resilience and its vibrant, academic energy, centered around the prestigious Mekelle University. From the bustling streets near the Martyrs' Memorial to the quiet corners of the Arid campus, there is a growing appreciation for modern expression. Ethiopian street art is a unique blend of ancient iconography and contemporary messages. 🇪🇹

Fun Fact: Did you know that the word "graffiti" comes from the Italian word 'ggraffito', meaning 'scratched'? In Mekelle, we prefer the 'sprayed' version, adding a splash of modern color to the hilltop beauty of the Tigray region!

Pricing

Our university workshops are designed to be accessible and budget-friendly for student organizations in Ethiopia. Pricing typically ranges from Br1500 to Br3500 per person, depending on the number of participants, the location in Mekelle, and the type of project (individual canvases vs. a large shared mural).

We believe in total transparency and trust: No upfront payment is required! You only pay after the workshop is finished and you're happy with the results. 💸
