Has the nasty weather got you twiddling your thumbs, wondering how to stave off cabin fever? Well, here’s an idea: create an art piece a day in January! And then show off your masterpieces at an art show of like-minded creators. Since 2005, artists in San Francisco and Phillidephia have contributed all sorts of art to Fun-A-Day shows. Some write songs. Others paint 4-inch-square canvases. Whether you like to make puppets, poems, and pies, this sounds like a great way to kick off 2010! And now Fun-A-Day is coming to PDX. Here’s the 411, via CNRG:
Fun-A-Day is coming to Portland, the home of creative cutting edge art! What started as a month-long art collaboration among friends in Philly a few years ago will debut in Portland this year. The idea is simple and powerful. Anyone who is moved to create, is welcome to join, make art every day for the month of January, and then show off their project results at a fabulous community art bash. If you want to contribute to this explosion of community energy, all you have to do is sign up at www.artclash.com (go to the sign-up buttons at the bottom left-hand corner), and then plan to bring your creations to the community show in February at St. David of Wales Episcopal Church, 2800 SE Harrison, in Portland on February 13 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. Pie, haiku, photos, painting, yarn dolls, silk flowers, hats, dance….the possibilities are endless….

Go for it! And I hope you’ll post photos of your creations here at FosterPowellPDX.com– I’d love to see them!
