Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book for a festival in Addis Ababa?
Booking is simple and stress-free for festival organizers. We recommend reaching out at least 4 to 6 weeks before your event date in Addis Ababa to ensure we have the artist capacity and specific paint colours you want. However, because we have a large team of backup artists, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. You don't need to pay anything upfront; we operate on a trust-based system where you pay after the event is successfully completed.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival attendees?
Absolutely. Safety is our main priority, especially in crowded festival environments. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including gloves and masks if requested. Our professional artists are trained to manage crowds and ensure that the creative process remains safe for participants of all ages. For indoor festivals, we can also discuss the use of water-based, low-odour paints to keep the air fresh.
Can you handle large crowds at major events?
We are highly flexible! Whether you are hosting a small community gathering in Bole or a massive music festival at Jan Meda, we can scale our setup. We can provide a single 'free-to-paint' wall or set up multiple stations with several instructors. We’ve handled everything from intimate brand activations to events with thousands of attendees. Just let us know your expected foot traffic, and we will design a workflow that keeps the energy high.
Do you provide all the materials and equipment?
Yes, we bring everything needed to turn a corner of your festival into a street art studio. This includes mobile graffiti walls (if the venue doesn't have suitable surfaces), a wide variety of spray can colours, caps, protective clothing, and floor coverings to protect the venue. You just provide the space and the enthusiastic crowd, and we take care of the entire logistical setup and cleanup.
What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?
While we love sunny Addis days, we are prepared for the rainy season too. If the festival is outdoors and rain is forecast, we can set up under gazebos or tents to keep the artists and the artwork dry. If the weather becomes too extreme, we can discuss moving the activation to an indoor area or rescheduling. Our goal is to ensure your entertainment goes off without a hitch regardless of the weather.
Why is graffiti better than traditional festival entertainment?
Street art is a universal language that appeals to everyone from kids to grandparents. At a festival, people love the hands-on nature of graffiti. It’s not just something to look at; it’s something to do. It provides great photo opportunities for social media (perfect for festival hashtags!) and gives people a unique souvenir or a sense of pride in contributing to a collective mural. It’s high-energy, colourful, and totally memorable.
