Connecting a broader
public with the nations Art
ART & ENVIRONEMENT
With little infrastructure of funding opportunities support for artists, projects, & endeavours in Guatemala we believe Inciting examples of Equity in the national Fine Arts that reach the broader Community. By introducing new models of support and funding avenues for artists to create more socially engaged art, and be fairly compensated- To provide 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 diversity of important, quality, significant art works that exist, and are being produced in their own country. We believe in order for art to be accessible to all it has to be public, so we are removing gallery and museum doors.
