What is #freearttuesday?
The free art movement is gaining traction all over the country. It’s become kind of a big deal in my town. Artists and makers of all kinds leave their creations on park benches, library shelves and window ledges of buildings down town with an attached note explaining to the finder that it is free art to be kept, gifted, rehidden or left right where it was found. In the Joplin area, the note might include a link to the Free Art 417 Facebook page so the finder can join the group and post their find.
I’ve also started leaving the address to my Steemit page and an invitation to join and participate in #freearttuesday.
I introduced #freearttuesday in this postI wrote a while back. If you’ve read the post then you know that the payoff for participating can be priceless!!
What Did I Do For #freearttuesday?
Adam's family came from out of state to stay for a while. Two of his nieces, ages 3 and 4, helped me paint some rocks. We hid them during a day trip to Fantastic Caverns.
By the time we got home the rocks had been posted on facebook by a family who had stopped by Fantastic Caverns during their vacation. They said they would be rehiding the rocks at Six Flags, St. Louis.
No #freearttuesday Paricipants This Week!
I'll be making a #freearttuesday post every Tuesday, or most of them at least. Each week I will feature participants who use the tag and rewarding them a little for the efforts. Be sure to post about your free art this week!
Need Some Inspiration?
I think these bunnies are adaptable to many materials, and could be made in singles for individual free art hides.
I recently finished a three part howto on amigurumi crochet.
Once I got the pattern down, I could whip one of these up in about 25 minutes. I make up a bunch of them now and then to put out around town for free art.
If you've enjoyed the art in this post, check these artists out and let them know that Steemit supports our artists!
