answers to your burning questions

trouble viewing the shrine auction site?

for some reason the auction can only be fully accessed

with firefox/mozilla or google chrome,

internet explorer is not able to open the site.

(Mozilla/Firefox are alternative BROWSERS to Internet Explorer.

 for windows use this link

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/

for apple use

how do i place a bid?

you must be registered to bid and comment.

directions for registration are on the main page of the auction site.

there is a small box clearly marked to accept your bid.

please make your bids in dollar amounts. you can increase in any amount you wish.

for some crazy unexplainable reason this program loves your bids,

but does not like dollar signs!

may i bid from outside the U.S.A.?

yes!  we welcome all bidders, domestic and international.  please note, payment will be

in U.S. currency, paid through paypal at the end of the auction. please

understand those bidding from outside the U.S.A. will be paying

for the shipping costs of their winning bid to the artist of the

winning art item. this makes it possible to offer

100% of the monies raised to 

oaxaca streetchildren grassroots.

who are we???

we are a diverse group of artists who 

create in joy,

offer with gratitude, acknowledge with love,

transform with conviction.

our lives have been touched in deeply meaningful ways

by the culture of mexico and this is our

way of giving back to those 

who have so generously 

given to us.
