Frequently asked questions

Is the paint used in the workshop safe for participants?

Absolutely! We use high-quality, water-based spray paint options and provide all necessary protective gear, including masks, gloves, and aprons. Our artists are trained to supervise the session closely, ensuring everyone stays safe while having a blast. We prioritize a clean and controlled environment so the focus remains entirely on the creative joy of the participants.

Are the workshop locations in Mekelle wheelchair accessible?

We believe street art should be for everyone. Our Mekelle workshops are fully mobile, meaning we can come to your specific facility if it has better accessibility features. For our standard locations, we ensure there is enough space for mobility aids and that all tables or canvases are set at reachable heights for every artist in the group.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our professional artists guide the group through every step, from basic lines to filling in colors. We focus on the process and the sensory experience rather than technical perfection. Most of our participants have never touched a spray can before, and they always leave with a masterpiece they are proud of.

How long does a typical special needs graffiti session last?

A standard special needs session usually lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and engagement without causing fatigue. However, we are flexible! If your group needs more frequent breaks or a slower pace, we can easily adjust the schedule to fit your specific needs.

Can the participants keep the artwork they create?

Yes! One of the best parts of the Graffitifun experience is that every participant gets to take their creation home. We use high-quality canvases or boards that dry quickly. It’s a wonderful way for them to remember the day and show off their new skills to friends and family in Mekelle.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

We care about your peace of mind. Graffitifun operates on a 'trust first' basis, so no upfront payment is required to book your date. You simply pay after the workshop is successfully completed. Plus, we have backup artists on standby to ensure that your event happens no matter what. Fun is guaranteed!
