Connecting a broader
public with the nations contemporary Art​

​​​​​​

why public art in Guatemala is especially  important

With little infrastructure of funding opportunities support for artists, projects, & endeavours in Guatemala combined with extremely limited opportunities for the general public to engage with art, we serve to promote national art and bridge the gap to reach the broader Community. Public art in Guatemala provides the opportunity for contemporary artists to gain exposure while creating greater civil and social impact by sharing their work with a majority of people who do not otherwise have access to engage or experience the incredible wealth of art that is being produced in the country.

​

The democratization and decentralization of art is key, in order to create equal access to art for all. 

Public art strengthens national identity by showing the country’s tremendous wealth of talent. It produces new visual cues that awaken the imagination and inspires future entrepreneurism, innovation, problem-solving skills, critical and creative new ways of thinking that are essential to the advancement of the nation. It brings hope, joy, and curiosity and aids to shifts popular mindsets and deep-rooted social issues towards reconciliation, the celebration of cultural diversity, and peace.

​

It draws new cultural tourism, and aids boost local economies providing new markets and employment opportunities that aids to retain nationals in the country, and counter the heavy need for migration. 

It opens neutral spaces where nationals can share and feel proud of their arts and cultural heritage while being seen and appreciated by people from all walks of life on a local, national, and international scale.
