Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join the pop-up?

Absolutely! Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. By the time the pop-up event is over, you will be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. It is all about having fun and expressing yourself in a supportive environment.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors give a full safety briefing before we start, ensuring everyone knows how to handle the equipment correctly. You just need to bring your energy; we handle the rest!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Our standard pop-up graffiti workshops in Hawassa typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a warm-up, technique practice on the 'try-out' wall, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule for your event, we can easily tailor the duration to fit your needs perfectly.

What should I wear to the graffiti event?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust on. Although we provide protective overall suits, it is always better to be safe! Since Hawassa can be sunny, bringing a hat and some water is also a great idea for our outdoor lakeside sessions. Everything else, from cans to caps, is provided by Graffitifun.

How does the payment process work?

We believe in the quality of our experience, so we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can pay after the workshop is completed and you are 100% satisfied with the results. We want you to feel confident and excited about your booking without any financial stress. It is part of our commitment to making street art accessible and fun!

Where in Hawassa do these workshops take place?

Our pop-up events are incredibly flexible! We can set up at your company premises, a local festival ground, a school yard, or even near the beautiful Hawassa lakeside. We use mobile graffiti walls that can be installed almost anywhere. If you don't have a location in mind, we can suggest some great spots around the city that fit the vibe.

Can you accommodate large groups or corporate teams?

We love the energy of large groups! Whether it is a small group of friends or a huge corporate brand activation, we have the capacity to handle it. We have a team of backup artists ready to go, ensuring that even for large crowds, everyone gets personal attention and guidance. Just let us know your estimated numbers, and we will scale the setup.
