OUR COLLABORATIVE ART JOURNEY COMMUNITY
IS NOW 61 ArtiSTeemians STRONG!!!

We are photographers, painters, drawers, collagers (is that even a word?), writers, singers, songwriters, musicians, story tellers, book makers, videographers, architects, poets and more....

and

WE HAVE ALREADY CREATED TOGETHER 292 INCREDIBLE WORKS OF ART!

Our most recent Finale of Beyond the Veil - 18 artists and 19 masterpieces!!

~~~~~~~

It's hard to believe this is already our 19th Collaboration!!

Though most of us don't even know each other, we are connecting, learning each other's styles, melding our talents, sharing our passions, exchanging positively good feeling energy, upping our own abilities, showing gratitude and appreciation, inspiring others, earning rewards, surprising ourselves, giving each other gifts, building a really badass community within a community, getting and giving feedback, giving each other an audience to show our creations, activating a profound collection of Steemian Artist's Collaborative Works, bringing valuable content to Steemit, and enjoying every moment of our interactions everyday....and an added bonus -- this doesn't cost us anything, and we make little to no waste in the process. (Except of course electricity to run our computers).

LET'S PLAY AGAIN!!

**~~~~~~~**

TRANSFORM MY OFFERING : " I N G R A I N E D "

DEADLINE Sunday April 30, 2017 at Midnight CST.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

DETAILS on how to PLAY:

1. MY OFFERING - Use my photograph " INGRAINED " as the base for the collaborative piece.

2. TRANSFORM IT - Print the image or do whatever it is you do to add to/or alter it, (i.e., including but not limited to painting, drawing, adding other photographs, collaging, altering it digitally or however you wish . . .or perhaps even adding a tune, poetry, a story, a gif, a video, a book, or other imaginative play. You can make as many versions as you'd like--we wouldn't want to stifle ourselves! We're artists, so anything goes!

3. MAKE A POST ABOUT IT sharing your process and anything about it that inspires you.

Note: Making a post is not a requirement to play, so don't let any time constraints or "rules" get your patties up in a wad. But, if you do make a post about it with your process we can share our works more prolifically and people will likely be intrigued by seeing how it developed. I know I will!

4. TAG YOUR POST with #art and #CollaborativeArtJourney (and of course any other tag that fits your finished piece).

5. SHARE IT HERE Copy the link from your post into a comment below. (If you don't make a post--though I hope you will--please just post your finished piece in the comments below so we can find it easily.)

6. DEADLINE Sunday, April 30, 2017 at Midnight CST. After the deadline I will make a post featuring all the collaborations and highlighting all the different pieces inspired by the same original photo/art. (If you don't make it by the deadline, that doesn't mean you can't play, it just means I may post our finale piece before you get your submission in to be included.)

7. PAYING IT FORWARD - I will be donating rewards from this post to my favorite and most honorable group doing humanitarian works, @gardenofeden (www.intothegardenofeden.com). (I am a full-time volunteer at the @gardenofeden, building a new world based on the vision of @quinneaker, creating a life based on sustainability, freedom and responsibility--holding space for the betterment of humanity and freedom for the children! This is an incredibly worthy cause I support with 100% of my energy! Here is what we're up to right now at the @gardenofeden: Welcome to the Garden of Eden: A quick glimpse at our eco-village!

8. INVITE - If you know other artists, musicians, videographers, photographers or others who would also like to play, please share this post so we can get the artistic juices and steem rolling, while expanding our artists' community for all artists, including others outside the visual arts!

9. SUPPORT AND SHARE THE LOVE - Upvote, resteem, share in chats, and make comments to help spread the joy of our artistic endeavors. Let's help all of our posts and masterpieces have a powerful opportunity to be seen. Supporting each other is truly some of the greatest beauty of this platform. Please take note of other artists' participation and give them some extra love.

10. POST IN THE CHATROOM "Art-Collaborations-Links-and-Creative-Inspirations". This is the perfect place to promote these collaboration posts, encourage discussion, and an easy, all-in-one place to view and support others working together toward building a powerful artist community through shared art. If you participate in other art collaborations on Steemit, feel free to use this chatroom to share those collaborations as well. Please use this chatroom ONLY for collaborative work. No individual posts please.

11. GRANTING PERMISSION - Important!!! -- Please note that by participating in these collaborations, all artists hereby grant permission to have their art shared in some other way (perhaps a show, printing them, making a gift of them, or otherwise at my discretion). I will give updates as I figure out how best to use them, and of course, give credit where credit is due. If you don't want to give permission, please don't play.
