What is StainArt?
Looking for a way to have fun, show off your artistic skills to a growing audience, help a worthy cause and win great prizes?
StainArt is part of StainTalk and the Carbona Cares program. Our mission here at StainTalk is to find fun with the lighter side of cleaning, but we're also dedicated to eliminating a different kind of stain. In South Africa, a country enjoying the international spotlight due to the 2010 World Cup, a woman is more likely to be sexually assaulted than learn how to read and write.
We've teamed up with nonprofit organization Ubuntu Now's South Africa Project to make a difference. In order to raise funds, we could use your help.
Why do we need StainArt?
StainArt, fun stain and cleaning images with original catchphrases, helps us to raise money and create awareness for our cause. From your best Jackson Pollock imitation to your favorite version of pop art and Photoshop oil painting homages, we are eager to see what you could come up with.
What happens with your StainArt?
We will be turning our favorite art submissions into T-shirts that are meant to raise funds for the fight against rape and HIV/AIDS in South Africa. Learn more at the South Africa Project. In the future, we might even hold art auctions to help us to raise even more money.

You will get exposed to a wider audience: your name and URL will be mentioned in the description wherever we use your art (Flickr, Facebook, our online Gallery and the StainWear shop).
