Community Mural at General Hospital Roatán
Cultivative collaborated with the General Hospital Roatán in Coxen Hole, Honduras to paint a 50 ft long outdoor mural in March 2015. Seven individual panels gave local kids the space to develop their creativity.
Working alongside with professional artists, this project encouraged a flexibility of mind that will help them adapt to whatever changing social and economic conditions they may face.

Going abroad, it seems that most artistic volunteers are looking for a new adventure, international experience and inspiration in other cultures.
This short video gives a flavor of the atmosphere during the creation process of this outstanding mural.
This Friday lead artist Bianca Nandzik and the hospital's director Dr. Raymond Cherington officially unveiled the mural together with the hospital's staff and representatives from the local TV station.
We are happy to launch the project webpage that contains everything related to our current community mural project in Coxen Hole, Roatán (Honduras). You will find all of our blog posts about this project there as well as an image gallery with photos from the community workshops that illustrate the creation process.
Most of the preparation work for the mural at the General Hospital has been completed by now and we welcomed the first members of the local community to paint this mural within the next two weeks.
During the first day of the project in Coxen Hole our team was interviewed on site by reporters from Channel 27, a local TV station on the Island Roatán where the hospital and mural are located.
Today we kicked the project off by going over the project plan, details on the process and the logistics. We will meet with the hospital staff next, pick up the art supplies at the local paint shop and will then begin to clean and prime the wall with undercoat this afternoon.
CULTIVATIVE is looking forward to the cooperation with Global Healing and the Roatán Volunteer Pediatric Clinic in Honduras. The non-profit will paint an outdoor mural together with local residents at the General Hospital.
Local nonprofit organizations in Honduras are invited to apply for a community mural. This project is promoting community involvement and participation in the arts.
