Description:

This is the fourth swap of this kind!! Hope you can join! During the summer people are out and about and in new places, so to place a piece of free art out in your community for someone to find is a perfect summer activity!!

Read on.....

In this swap you will create an ATC or Postcard size piece of art.. Your choice.. and send it to your partner.Your partner will then in turn place YOUR work somewhere in THIER community for someone to take home and love! Give it away for FREE! Pics will need to be taken and sent to me so I can post on flickr and FB.

Free Art Friday is an active movement all over the world. Each Friday artists in communities 'drop' a piece of art for another to find. It's a 'pay it forward', make someone's day kind of thing.

Please check out my Free Art Friday page on Facebook

facebook.com/freeartfridaygrandrapidsstyle

or google Free Art Friday to see if your city is involved!!

This is a really cool thing to do. And with all of the electronic media we have today it's easy to track your art... simply ask the finder to message you when they find it.

So.. to recap:

  1. Google Free Art Friday (or check out my FB page)

  2. Create an ATC or Postcard size piece of art for you partner and send.

  3. When you recieve your swap, place in your community with a tag that explains it's "Free Art" for the taking!

  4. Take a pic and email it to me and I will post on Flickr and my FB page.

Questions? Please ask!!!

I absolutely adore this idea...is there any way I could join without a camera? The only camera I have is on my phone. For special occasions I pick up a disposable one. I don't have an I-phone but I can send a pic to another cell phone. I hate to be that swapper that says "I want to joint, BUT" but I just HAD to for this. This swap excites me and I will never know if I could join if I didn't at least ask, right?

Stacy... sure you can join! It would be great if you could post a pic, but the most important part is to send some love out into your community through art! If you can take a pic and send it to your partner's phone, and they can get it, that would be great! I know I can't get pics on my phone :(. Join in on the fun!! (You should be able to text a pic to Facebook if you have an account then share it with Free Art Friday Grand Rapids Style... maybe?

Oh this is wonderful news! I don't have facebook. The only computer in my home is one from my work (a hospital) and they strictly forbid we go to that site. I will make arrangements with my partner once I recieve his/her art. I will message them in detail about where I placed it and why...etc. I promise to place it in the community. I do things like this randomly all the time. It's such a cool concept! Thanks very much for accomodating the technically impaired!

How do you join this? It's not showing up for me that I can join, and I'd love to do this!
