Hi faithful followers of the blog... due to a tight schedule for July's first Friday, we will be changing out a few shows early so if you are reading this, you will get a sneak preview this Friday at the art-walk from 6-9pm.
(Wear your painting clothes!)
(Seriously!)

More on Interactive Art
In cohesion with the question above, and with the mission of actions it has been provoking out in the real world... I was thinking about drawing in the public to create a collaborative painting and then working towards putting the work TO WORK by generating funds for "something." But, what will that "something" be?
We thought at first that we would put money from sales of the public work towards prizes for a future show in the boonies, but then someone brought to our attention a better idea...
How about if we take the money we make from the sales of the public painting and donate it to the Riverfront Project in Plainfield? THAT is a great idea, we think... public art benefiting the future public! What more could you ask for!?!
Painting on the canvas will be free of course, and maybe we can even just put out a little donation bucket just in case people don't want to spend money on purchasing a 1-foot square of the finished product, but then again, who wouldn't want to be a part of this historical event and grab a slice of it for themselves as a momento? I know I want one!
How about your thoughts on this one now too!??!
One more thing... if you don't mind, please copy the url at the top and paste it as your status on FB as we are really working on spreading the word about this Art-walk... which is REALLY doing very well!!! Thank you for being a part of it and for following us in our endeavor to save the arts, build the arts, and beautify everything we happen upon!

Juried show with prizes?
Hmmmm.... Thought to ponder.
We are thinking... thinking... thinking...
Imagine a room lined with blank canvas (maybe with a few lines on it), drop-cloths on the floor, various paint buckets and brushes and raincoats (plastic smocks). You see a prompt and are let loose in the room only for a few minutes to make your mark on this ENORMOUS canvas.
We are thinking of interactive, public art for July's art-walk. What if we allow the public to come in and paint this gigantic roll of canvas then have the option of purchasing a 1-foot square of it for only $10 so that we can raise funds to offer prizes for a juried art exhibition in September? What if...??? We think it sounds pretty cool.
The painting would, of course, only happen during Friday's Art-walks and last one month.
Thoughts?
