General Information
Art In Motion is a cultural NGO with main aim to make Art accessible to all by moving Art to Public spaces. We are 5 persons on the board, from different backgrounds, with all having the conviction that Art could change the world. We have so far more than 20 persons supporting us in terms of connections, PR and their knowledge. Our main source of income is from friends, from the memberships and the fundings from sponsors and other organizations, but unfortunately not from governmental organizations. We will be starting by having 1 event next year, which will be a huge event that we are considering to make it travel to other countries if all goes as planned. We have just started working on this event, and I am attaching for you the presentation of the project and should you be interested, will be sending you later Artist Portfolio (that is not yet completed), for your review.
