Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Nairobi workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists guide you through every step, starting with basic spray techniques and safety. You will be amazed at how quickly you can create a vibrant piece of street art with just a little bit of expert coaching and the right tools. It is all about the experience and having a blast!

Is it safe and what gear do you provide?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls, to ensure you stay clean and safe from fumes. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces across Nairobi. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide clear safety briefings at the start of every session, ensuring a worry-free environment for kids and adults alike.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case! While we provide full protective overalls, sometimes those adventurous spray cans can be unpredictable. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Other than that, just bring your energy and perhaps some inspiration or reference photos if you have a specific idea in mind!

How long does a typical session last?

The duration depends on the specific package you choose, but most of our public art sessions in Nairobi last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you are looking for a more intensive masterclass or a quick teaser session for a festival, we can definitely tailor the timing to suit your needs.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Nairobi's weather can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered. If the clouds decide to open up, we often have access to sheltered outdoor spaces or covered areas that allow us to keep painting while staying dry. In the rare event of extreme weather that makes a session impossible, we have a flexible rescheduling policy or backup artists ready to find an alternative solution so your creativity isn't dampened!

What are your payment terms and booking guarantees?

We are all about flexibility! You don't need to pay a cent upfront to secure your booking. You can pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods for your convenience. Plus, with our dedicated backup artist system, you never have to worry about last-minute cancellations—we always ensure a professional is there to lead your event.

Local culture

Street art in the green city in the sun 🎨

Nairobi is a city that breathes creativity. From the legendary "Matatu culture," where buses serve as moving canvases for intricate portraits and designs, to the growing number of massive murals in areas like Raila Odinga Way, urban art is part of our DNA. Our workshops tap into this local energy, celebrating the bold spirit of Nairobi's creative community.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Nairobi's 'Matatu' art is considered one of the most unique forms of mobile public art in the world? Some artists spend weeks hand-painting a single vehicle to make it the flashy "Manyanga" on the block!

When you join us, you're not just spraying paint; you're joining a movement that celebrates self-expression in the heart of East Africa. We often hold our sessions in vibrant, accessible spots that reflect the city's dynamic mix of nature and urban life. 🌍
