Getting to your Thika workshop
Reaching our Thika workshop locations is generally straightforward. The town is well-connected by road, making it accessible from Nairobi and other parts of Kenya. The main thoroughfare is the A2 highway, also known as the Thika Superhighway, which links Thika directly to Nairobi. Public transport options include matatus and buses, which operate frequently along the A2 and within Thika itself, with many routes terminating or passing through the town centre.
For those travelling by air, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi is the closest major airport. From there, participants can arrange for road transport directly to Thika. While Thika has a railway station, passenger services are less frequent compared to road transport. Parking facilities for cars are available at or near most workshop venues in Thika, and arrangements can be made for coach access for larger groups, depending on the specific location.

Street art and local context in Thika
Thika itself is not widely known as a hub for extensive street art or graffiti in the same way larger urban centres might be. However, like many growing towns in Kenya, there is an organic emergence of murals and painted signage that reflects local culture, commerce, and community messages. These pieces, while often functional, contribute to the visual landscape of the town.
Our workshops aim to tap into this nascent creative energy, offering a platform for individuals and groups to contribute to Thika's evolving visual narrative in a structured and legal manner. We focus on respecting local aesthetics while introducing participants to the broader techniques and styles of graffiti and street art, encouraging responsible artistic practice within the town.
