ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Our BRICK by BRICK Program is SASAI’s signature job placement and career development program. This program scouts excelled talents and strives to build relationships with artists and grow with them across multiple years of their career. These artists are seasoned and reliable professionals that are paired with one-off projects in the city of San Antonio, Texas to create job placement opportunities, beautify walls and receive free education in business and entrepreneurship through elite SASAI mentors in the field. As with all SASAI programming, the organization acts on behalf of the artist, pairs them with fair-pay jobs and executes street art murals funded by donors and sponsors. Every step of the way, SASAI customizes the experience for artists to help accelerate their business to the next level of success, “brick by brick”. Business mentorship includes: bio updating, CVs, headshots, accounting, marketing, websites, law, contracts, licenses, copyrights, digital skills and more and this is offered 100% free of charge to the artist. This program takes pride in combining beatification efforts with the empowerment of business education so that even after the street art projects are complete, artists can take lessons learned from the experience and use them ongoing to prosper as full-time artists.
