WE HIRE ARTISTS

At IPaintMyMind, we have developed a sustainable nonprofit funding model that hires artists for murals and commissions as well as purchases art from artists directly as part of our growing collection, which we mobilize for rentals and installations.

All in all, this means we support artists by bringing them cool projects or purchasing work outright, then we use the margins to fund, create, and deliver free and low-cost programs for underserved schools.

We are constantly growing our permanent art collection which we loan out through curated exhibitions to both private & public partners as part of our Shared Walls™ program. By mobilizing our art collection as a service for businesses, we’re able to provide FREE art exhibitions, curriculum, and programs to diverse communities everywhere.

It’s a “Win, win, win!’

WE COLLECT YOUR ART & EXHIBIT IT

1. We purchase your art for our collection or hire you for a mural project, installation, activation, or commission. We love that we get to be not only the organization that spreads the word about your work, but your collector as we add your work to our growing print collection which is focused on diversity of aesthetics and representation while being dedicated to the most accessible form of art, prints. The idea of constantly growing this collection and rotating it to spaces in perpetuity really excites us, and we consider it an honor to purchase your work and share it with the world.

 

2. We place that art in exhibitions in local businesses or community spaces (school, park, library, community center). When we loan it to a company (office spaces or retail spaces), they pay us, when we loan it to a community space, they get it for FREE! This art is able to rotate to various locations, serving as a calling card your your artwork but also providing art exhibitions to diverse communities for years to come.

In each location we post a plaque with information about you & your work.

YOUR ART CREATES IMPACT

To give you an idea of the ratio, for every art exhibition we loan a private business, we put 3-4 FREE art exhibitions in local public schools, libraries, parks, or youth centers. As a nonprofit, the majority of those funds go right back into our programs – buying more art & frames, while building out more engagement opportunities for our community partners, like curator talks, artist, talks, workshops, and Skype studio visits.

We’re happy to collect your work create a cash infusion for you, while sustainably funding art exhibitions and experiences in the places that need them the most.
