1000 ACTS OF ART CHALLENGE – contribute an act of art today
Slow and steady, we’re getting closer to our goal of documenting 1000 Acts of Art. We appreciate your help on this mission! Currently we have collected just over 380 acts of art!
There are many ways to contribute an Act of Art:
Twitter – tweet it to @lakeshorearts
Email – email it to 1000acts.site@gmail.com
Facebook - post it to facebook.com/lakeshorearts
Submission Form – http://1000acts-of-art.ca/submit-an-act-of-art
Flickr – add it to our flickr pool http://www.flickr.com/groups/1000actsofart
OH BUT WAIT … WHAT’S AN ACT OF ART? Anything you like as long as it’s about experiencing art in some way. You can review a play or musical performance, submit a photograph or painting (one you did or one you like), tell us about your favourite book or poem, or write about an experience you had at an outdoor festival one year. We want to document the many ways that art touches all of our lives.
Thank you and can’t wait to receive your Act of Art!
