There are walls in
abundance in Guatemala,
but unfortunately money isn’t. Most of the schools or organizations that
request a mural don’t have the resources to pay for it. So that’s where the
important part comes in… Finding sponsors!
The budget for a
community mural completely depends on the size, design, travel distance and
whether a series of introductory workshops is wanted, starting at about US$ 450.
Detailed quotes can be requested at info@carinsteen.com.
You can sponsor a whole
mural or make a smaller donation that will go to the first mural request in
line. On the home page of this website you’ll see which walls are need of a sponsor.
Some sponsors like to
come down and help out, which is almost always a possibility.
If desired, sponsorship will be acknowledged by a (discrete) mention in
the work of art. It is also possible to provide a preference for a specific
theme or representation, as long as the community agrees with it.
After finishing the mural, an extensive report of the project including pictures of the process and result
will be sent to the sponsor.
So, next
time you ask for donations on your birthday rather than expecting gifts; or your
kid is involved in a fundraiser at school, why not consider sponsoring a mural?
Donations can be made through PayPal (use the button on this page) or deposits on my Guatemalan (USD) or European (Euro) bank accounts (please email for account number).
