Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join a workshop in Mbuji-Mayi?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the basics of can control, move on to lettering, and then help you create a full piece. The goal is to have fun and express yourself, regardless of your artistic background. Most of our guests in Mbuji-Mayi have never touched a spray can before they join us, and they always leave with something they are proud of!

Is the spray paint safe and what protective gear do you provide?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep you and your clothes safe. We also use low-odour professional spray paint designed for artistic use. Our instructors provide a full safety briefing at the start of every session to ensure everyone handles the equipment correctly while having a blast. It’s a safe, controlled way to experience the thrills of street art.

Where exactly do the workshops take place?

We are incredibly flexible! We can host workshops at various local spots, from community centres to outdoor mural sites, or even at your own private location if it's suitable. If you don't have a spot, don't worry—our team in Mbuji-Mayi will help find the perfect location for your group to get creative. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the art!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard public art workshops typically last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for an introduction, a practice session on the boards, and the final creation of your masterpiece! If you are planning a larger community project or festival activation, we can extend the duration to span a full day or even a weekend. We’ll tailor the timing to fit your specific schedule.

Do I need to pay in advance?

We’ve made it super easy for you! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book. You only pay after the workshop is complete and you’re 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods, and we'll confirm all the details during the booking process. This ensures a stress-free experience from start to finish for all our Congolese clients.

What should I bring to the workshop?

Mbuji-Mayi can be sunny! If we are outdoors, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit dusty (even with our overalls). We also suggest bringing a hat and some water. We provide all the professional art supplies, including a wide range of spray paint colours, caps, and protective gear. Just bring your energy and some creative ideas!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Mbuji-Mayi is known for its tropical climate. If we have scheduled an outdoor workshop and it starts to rain, we usually look for a nearby sheltered spot or reschedule to a time that suits you. Because we have a team of backup artists available, we are very flexible with timing. We always monitor the weather closely leading up to your event to ensure everything goes smoothly.
