Contemporary Art Projects USA presents a juried international exhibition "Help Hope Nepal Mural" at Spectrum Fair Miami 2015, December 2-6, 2015. This fundraising initiative benefits victims of the April 2015 Nepal Earthquake through the Maiti Relief Fund. Four hundred artists will participate in creating the mural, with an esteemed jury selecting 300 artworks (one per artist) based on artistic excellence, innovation, and originality. All applicants will be accepted to be part of the mural, with the jury deciding upon the artwork and potentially requesting additional images.

Entry fee is $65.00 for one image, with additional images at $5.00 each (maximum 3 images). All work must be original, unsold, and the artist must own sole copyright. Hanging works are limited to 10" height by 8" width, or 10" by 10" square pieces. Artists are encouraged to create small versions of larger artworks. All work must be available for sale. Artists receive 70% of sales, with Contemporary Art Projects USA retaining 30% commission, of which 15% is donated to Maiti Relief Fund. Contemporary Art Projects USA also donates 50% of entry fees to the relief fund.
