Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for festival-goers?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority at any Thika festival. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to all participants. Our professional artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-odour, high-quality paints designed for ease of use, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the creative process without any worries. We handle the setup and cleanup, leaving you to enjoy the vibes.

How do you manage large crowds at a festival?

We thrive in the high-energy environment of music and cultural festivals! Our setup is designed to be mobile and adaptable. Whether you want a continuous 'drop-in' station where hundreds of people add a single stroke to a massive mural, or timed sessions for smaller groups, we can scale our presence to match your event's footprint. We bring all the boards, paint, and protection needed to turn a corner of your festival into a masterpiece.

Do participants need prior artistic experience?

Not a bit! That is the beauty of street art. Our expert instructors specialize in teaching 'non-artists' how to create something they are proud of in minutes. We use techniques like stencilling and guided outlines to ensure that even if you have never held a spray can before, you will walk away with a smile and a new skill. It is about expression and fun, not perfection!

What are the costs for a festival graffiti workshop?

Because every festival in Thika is unique, we offer tailored quotes based on your specific needs. Factors include the duration of the event, the number of predicted participants, and the amount of materials required. We believe in transparency and flexibility, which is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy and a quick Cost Calculator tool to help you plan your budget. Contact us for a bespoke estimate!

What happens if it rains during the outdoor event?

If the Thika weather decides to turn, don't worry! We are highly adaptable. We can move our setup under marquees or into indoor halls if available. Because we have a large team and backup artists on standby, we are very flexible with timing. We always work closely with festival organisers to ensure the art happens, rain or shine. Safety and fun are never compromised by a bit of rain.

Can the artwork be permanent?

Yes! While we love creating temporary masterpieces on our mobile walls, we can also facilitate a permanent mural project for the festival grounds or the local community. This is a fantastic way to leave a lasting legacy of the event in Thika. We can coordinate with local authorities or venue owners to ensure the artwork remains a vibrant part of the landscape long after the festival stages are packed away.
