What's Your Fun-A-Day Project?

I think the toughest part of fun-a-day is not creating new art everyday, but deciding what you want to create in the first place. It's a big commitment. Whatever you decide is what you're doing all month. So let's help eachother out. If you know what you're doing post it here. Let others be inspired!

Artclash are the folks who originally came up with fun-a-day. Fun-a-day participants from all over post their projects on their page. Check it out for ideas and inspiration! Once you have decided post your project here!

FAQ

Okay folks, in the coming days I will post our submission guidelines - I am just waiting on confirmation of the where/when of the final show.

Quick FAQ:

How do I participate in Fun-A-Day?

Choose a project and do it every day in February.

Do I have to sign-up somewhere?

Nope. You don't have to let us know you're doing it until you submit your work.

Who can participate?
Anyone and everyone - Your grandma, your baby, and that guy down the street the more people involved the better! Tell your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors - this is a community event!

Do I have to live in the triangle?
No way. As long as you live in NC you can join in the fun. If you can't physically attend the final show, you can submit your work via mail or the inter-web (the submission mailing address will be included in the submission guidelines).

Who do I contact if I have question?
You can post on the blog and I'll get back to you ASAP, or you can email funadayNC@gmail.com and either or Angela or I will get back to you.

Welcome to Fun-A-Day NC!

You might be asking yourself, What is this "fun-a-day"?
Well, let me tell you!

You will create your own project and make one piece of artwork each day for the month of February (we're going easy on you, we picked the shortest month!)

You can do whatever you want:
knit a hat, paint a picture, draw a comic, write a song, do a different yoga pose, yodel, a page for a 'zine, make a square for a quilt - it's your choice.

Submit your 28 pieces by early March to be included in the show. If you have a project that can't be submitted physically (yoga poses, performance art, what have you) then send us a sample, or description so we know what to plan for at the show.

Submission deadline,date/location for the show, and submission guidelines will be posted soon.
