Description
I own, manage and run a small hotel situated in Mirissa and I am seeking any form of artist/ muralist who can undertake projects within the hotel in exchange for free accommodation and breakfast. The place is central, safe and situated in a good location approx 20m away from the beach. We have a swimming pool, roof top garden and a main kitchen. Currently we have 3 full time members of staff and another 3 part time. I would like to enhance the hotel with beautiful works of art that can elevate and give the place a soul, identity and peaceful ambiance. I am happy to look at the artist's portfolio to decide if it's the right fit for the project before an agreement can be made.
