Do I need to have any artistic experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Kisumu workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional graffiti artists will guide you through every step, from how to hold the spray can to advanced shading techniques. You don't need any prior drawing skills—just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new. We make sure everyone leaves feeling like a street art pro!

What materials are included in the workshop?

We've got you covered. We provide high-quality spray paints, various nozzles (caps) for different line widths, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. All we ask is that you wear comfortable shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case. We bring the studio to you!

Is the graffiti workshop safe?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control and provide high-quality protective gear. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large indoor areas with proper airflow. Our artists are experienced professionals who supervise the entire process to ensure a fun, hazard-free environment for all participants.

How long does a session usually last?

A typical public art workshop in Kisumu lasts between 1.5 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 your masterpiece. We can also tailor the duration to fit your specific event schedule if needed.

Can you accommodate large groups?

We are very flexible! We can host small groups for intimate creative sessions or large-scale community events with dozens of participants. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets personal guidance and a great experience. Just let us know your numbers and we will handle the logistics.

Where do the workshops take place?

While we focus on the experience and technique, we always respect local regulations. For public art projects, we ensure all necessary permissions are in place. If you're booking a private event, we can set up mobile cellophane walls or canvases so you can create art anywhere without leaving a permanent mark on the property.

How much does a workshop cost?

Getting a quote is easy! Since every event is unique, our prices vary based on the group size, location, and specific requirements. You can use our online cost calculator for an instant estimate or send us a message for a custom proposal. Best of all, there is no upfront payment required—you pay after the workshop!

Local culture

Kisumu is a city with a soul, and its public art scene is rapidly catching up to its vibrant musical and culinary heritage. From the colourful murals found in the bustling markets to the creative hubs popping up near the lakefront, street art is becoming the visual language of the 'Lakeside City'. Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging participants to incorporate 'Dholuo' influences and Kisumu's iconic landscapes into their work.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kisumu's name comes from the word 'Sumo', which means a place of barter trade? Much like those ancient markets, our graffiti workshops are a place of exchange—swapping ideas, styles, and inspiration! 🎨

Pricing

Every public art project in Kisumu is unique! Whether you want a small workshop for friends or a massive community mural, we tailor the experience to your needs. Prices depend on group size, duration, and setup.

No upfront payment required! You only pay once the workshop is complete and you're 100% happy with the result.
