•   the Mariposa Art Project seeks to offer a creative opportunity for events or hospitality businesses to support victims of violent crime. Just three steps away from an awesome opportunity to showcase hope with your ‘colourful support’ using our beautiful art pieces.
•  Step 1 Call or email us to request a review of our current collection.
  • Step 2 Select art pieces that would compliment your décor at your event, restaurant or hotel, at no cost to you.
  • Step 3 Prepare your wall for the display of the piece according to our specifications; or  identify positions for easels.

We deliver, erect it, and viola!… you partnered with us to bring hope to a victim and gallery locally hand-crafted art throughout Trinidad and Tobago.  Your business would also be featured as the ‘home’ for specific pieces, on our Mariposa Art Project social media.  Sale of these pieces go towards the efforts of Victim Support Foundation.
