This event took place in July 2004, with over 50 international and Honduran artists, both painters and sculptors, creating artworks in public places all over the city of Tegucigalpa in Honduras.

Arte Para Todos was the brainchild of UN DP coordinator for Honduras, Mr. Peter Claesson. The theme for the event was to highlight, through art, any of the 8 objectives set out in the United Nations delineated Millennium Development Goals.

I was privileged to be able to place my sculpture in the Honduran United Nations park itself: El Picacho, a beautiful mountain park overlooking the city of Tegucigalpa.

It is a permanent installation - an interactive sculpture called "Children = Future" (children equals future), some 15 x 27 metres in dimensions, consisting of over 200 colorful blocks featuring children's footprints and a variety of designs, ranging from comic to esoteric.

Below is a composite showing several views of the finished sculpture.

The stained cement blocks had to dry - they made a colorful impression all on their own.
The fabulous concrete stains were generously donated by The Stamp Store for this project.
