Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join the workshop?

No dulling! You don't need any prior art skills or 'drawing talent' to join our Lagos university workshops. Our pro artists will guide you through the basics, from how to hold the spray can to master strokes. Whether you are a science student or an art enthusiast, you will leave the session with a masterpiece you can be proud of. It is all about having fun and expressing your vibe.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for students?

Safety is our number one priority in the Gidi sun. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks to filter out fumes, as well as specialized overalls to keep your clothes clean. We strictly use professional-grade spray cans that are safe for outdoor use. Our team also ensures the workshop area is well-ventilated so everyone can create without any health worries.

How long does a typical session last?

The standard vibe usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on how deep you want to go. This includes the initial briefing, practicing your technique, and the final 'big reveal' of your collaborative mural. We can adjust the timing to fit into your lecture schedule or student union event program. Just let us know what works best for your group's flow.

Do we have to pay before the workshop starts?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. You don't need to pay a kobo upfront! We believe in the quality of our hustle, so you only pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy. This makes it much easier for student groups and faculty heads to organize events without the stress of immediate financial commitment.

Where in Lagos do these workshops take place?

We can bring the street art energy right to your campus if there is a suitable outdoor space with proper ventilation. Alternatively, we have access to several cool legal graffiti spots around Lagos, from Yaba to Lekki, where your group can spray freely. If the weather decides to show off, we always have a plan B to ensure the workshop continues without any glitches.

Can you accommodate large student groups or entire departments?

Absolutely! We specialize in large-scale events. Whether it is a small department hangout or a massive university-wide festival, we have the team and the cans to handle it. We even have backup artists on standby to make sure that no matter the size of the crowd, everyone gets enough attention and the event goes off without a hitch.
