What equipment is included in the Tamale youth project?

Each young participant is provided with high-quality spray cans, a variety of nozzles (caps) for different effects, protective gloves, masks, and overall suits to keep their clothes clean. We also provide the 'canvas'—which could be a temporary wall, wooden panels, or a designated community surface. Our artists bring years of experience and a passion for mentoring, ensuring every student has the tools and knowledge to create something they are proud of.

Is the spray painting process safe for teenagers?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide professional-grade respiratory masks and gloves to every participant. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and our professional artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We maintain a high instructor-to-student ratio to ensure constant supervision and guidance throughout the creative process.

Do the kids need prior art experience to participate?

Absolutely! Most of our youth projects are designed specifically for beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, control pressure, and create simple lines—before moving on to more complex techniques. Our artists are expert mentors who know how to break down complicated street art concepts into easy, bite-sized steps. By the end of the session, even those who thought they weren't 'artistic' will have created something impressive.

What is the ideal group size for a youth workshop?

While we love the energy of large groups, we typically recommend a maximum of 15-20 participants per lead artist to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention. For larger youth organisations or school year groups in Tamale, we simply bring in more of our professional backup artists. This allows us to scale the project while maintaining a high-quality, hands-on experience for every single young person involved.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard youth workshop usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows for an introduction to the history of street art, a safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. For more intensive community projects, we can also arrange multi-day programmes that involve deeper conceptual planning and larger permanent installations across Tamale.

How does the 'pay after' policy work for organisations?

We believe in the quality of our workshops so much that we don't require any upfront payment. You can book your date and secure our artists without reaching for your wallet first. Payment is only settled after the workshop is complete and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. This takes the risk out of the planning process for youth leaders and community organisers.

What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate on the day?

The weather in Tamale can be intense, so we always plan ahead. We prefer to work in shaded areas or under marquees during the heat of the day. If rain is forecast, we can often move the project to a covered outdoor area or use large wooden panels indoors in a very well-ventilated space. Alternatively, our flexible scheduling and backup artist system allow us to shift times slightly to catch the best weather windows.

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy look at graffiti culture and how it can be used for positive community expression.
The safety breakdown: Every participant gets kitted out with masks and gloves while learning the 'golden rules' of spray painting.
Can control basics: Our artists demonstrate how to handle the pressure, move your arm, and master those first crisp lines.
Sketching the vision: The group works together or individually to sketch out their labels, tags, and mural concepts on paper.
Filling and fading: Now for the colour! We teach the youth how to fill large areas smoothly and create cool gradients and fades.
The 'cut' (Outlining): This is where the art pops! Participants learn to outline their work to make it stand out from the background.
Adding the flare: We show the group how to add highlights, shadows, and final 'bits' to give their work that professional street art look.
The big reveal: We step back to admire the collective mural, take photos, and celebrate the incredible transformation of the space.
Tidy up & certificates: We wrap up by cleaning the site and reflecting on the new skills learned during the day.

Local culture

Tamale is a city that breathes culture, from the iconic architecture of the Central Mosque to the rhythmic beats of traditional drumming. In recent years, the urban landscape of Tamale has become a playground for contemporary expression. Our youth projects bridge the gap between traditional Northern Ghanian heritage and modern global street art. We encourage participants to draw inspiration from local patterns, colours, and the bustling energy of the Central Market. 🌍🔥

Fun Fact: Did you know that Tamale is often called the 'Bicycle Capital' of West Africa? It’s the perfect metaphor for our workshops—learning a new skill, finding your balance, and then enjoying the freedom of the ride (or in our case, the spray!). Grouping youth together in such a cycle-friendly, open city makes for an incredible atmosphere during our outdoor painting sessions.

Pricing

We believe every community project in Tamale is unique, so we don't do "one size fits all" pricing. Our rates are calculated based on your specific needs, the number of participants, and the scale of the artwork you want to create. Best of all? We require zero payment upfront—you only pay once the workshop is finished and you’re thrilled with the results! 🏆
