OUR MISSION
–
The organization focuses mainly on supporting artists in Africa and Haiti through a mural art program. The murals must be appropriate to the context of the community and present a socially conscious message. Murals are painted on school walls and/or community centers by local artists.
The aim is to create positive change by employing local artists and educating communities about their environment and future.
The mural project is funded by the founders of PNMW, Agnes and Andre, through the sales of their original artworks.
