Reaching your Gondar workshop

Gondar is primarily accessed by road and air. For those travelling from within Ethiopia, long-distance buses connect Gondar with major cities like Addis Ababa and Bahir Dar, arriving at the main bus station, which is centrally located. There is no main railway station in Gondar.

The nearest airport is Gondar Airport (GDQ), which has regular domestic flights. From the airport, taxis and local bajajs are readily available to transport you to your workshop location within the city. For those driving, Gondar is situated along a primary road network, including the main route connecting it to Bahir Dar. Parking availability varies by location, but we can advise on options once a venue is confirmed. Coaches bringing larger groups can usually arrange drop-off and pick-up points near the workshop site.

Local culture

Gondar's art scene and graffiti

Gondar is renowned for its historical architecture and religious art, particularly the intricate murals found within its churches. While it is not widely known for a dedicated contemporary street art scene in the same way some larger global cities are, there is an evolving appreciation for public art.

Local artists often draw inspiration from Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage, and this can sometimes be seen in public spaces, albeit not always in the form of what one might strictly define as graffiti. Our workshops aim to introduce the techniques and artistic freedom of street art within this unique cultural context, encouraging participants to blend contemporary styles with local influences. We focus on respecting the existing artistic landscape while offering a space for modern expression.

Pricing

We believe art should be accessible to everyone! Our pricing is transparent and reflects the high-quality materials and expert instruction we provide.

Estimated Price Range: Br1500 - Br3500 per person

*Please note that final rates depend on the number of participants, the location, and the specific workshop format you choose. 💸

Forget about hidden fees or upfront deposits—with Graffitifun, you pay after the workshop is finished and you're happy with the results. We want your Gondar street art experience to be perfect!
