Exploring hands-on, community-based projects
Image Description: A baby blue sign that says “Art- Take- Leave-Create- #freelittleartgallerySRQ. The sign is placed on a pile of little rocks. Some rocks are painted. One rock says: “Take a rock and paint it”
Inspired by little libraries that have been popping up in towns everywhere, where community members are encouraged to take a book and leave a book, creating a free little library for those passing by. I love these little libraries mostly because they put a smile on my face amongst the chaos of life. I also love the concept of free resources for all in combination with community engagement.
While reading isn’t exactly my strong suit or passion, I wondered how I could create something similar that was relevant to my passions. This is how I landed on “Take an Art, Leave an Art”. The idea behind it being similar to those tiny community libraries. You can take a tiny art, and leave a tiny art.
