How Can I Sponsor an Artist?

Feria Maestros del Arte does not charge artists invited to participate - no booth fee, no percentage of sales. However, unless the Feria is able to find outside funding, the artists DO have to pay for their transportation to and from the Feria. The cost of this is often prohibitive, especially for artists who live on the other side of Mexico. It can be a reason they cannot participate.

Artists will be made aware that you helped sponsor their transportation costs (unless you wish to remain anonimous). If you come to the Feria and wish to meet the artist you helped sponsor, we will cheerfully introduce you and take your photo together for this page.

If you wish to help an artist by sponsoring their transportation,
here is all you need to do:

• Send your donation by check made out to

Feria Exposicion Maestros del Arte (MUST be exactly this name)
Mail to: c/o Cathy Roberts, Javier Mina #7, Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico 45920

Be sure to include your name, address, telephone and email so that we may send you a US tax deductible receipt.

• Send your donation through Paypal. Just click on the Paypal button and if you do not have a Paypal account, you will be led through easy to follow instructions on how to sign up free. You can use your credit card or pay right from your bank account, whichever method you desire. Once you have opened your Paypal account, send your donation via Paypal by just clicking the button.

Here is what your donation helps provide:

$25 USD will pay for a bus ticket from within 100 miles of the Feria.
$125 USD will pay for a round-trip bus ticket from Guanajuato, Queretero or San Luis Potosi.
$300 USD will pay for a round-trip bus ticket from Puebla.
$500 USD will pay for a round-trip bus ticket from Chiapas.
$600 will pay for airfare from the Yucatan or Quintana Roo

Or any donation can be gifted to an artist who drives to help pay for their gasoline.

You may select a particular artist or allow us to reimburse the artists beginning with those who travel the furthest distance or who are in the greatest need of assistance.
