Did you know that the first Tuesday of September is World Art Drop Day? Well, it is, and guess what — that day is today.
Several years ago Jake Parker of Provo, Utah came up with World Art Drop Day as a means of connecting people through random acts of creativity. The premise is simple: all artists — a.k.a. anyone and everyone who creates — are invited to drop a piece of art and tell someone where to find it. Locally, The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art is encouraging artists to participate. Head to their Facebook page to print off instructions.
Here’s how it works:
1. Draw a picture and hide it somewhere.
2. Take a photo of the art and/or the hiding spot.
3. Post the image, the city you dropped it in, and a hint on social media. Include #artdropday.
Boom. You just added a little bit of sunshine to someone’s Tuesday. Carry on, artists of the world.
