#ARTifacts: The Exhibit

Artifacts (plural noun): objects made by a human being, typically an item of cultural or historical interest.

ARTifacts (plural noun): a collaborative project for 2017 documenting adventures in art.

This past year, I hosted an online, collaborative project called ARTifacts. Participants documented their creative lives throughout the year, in any form they chose. Some people made traditional journals while others simply made art. I have been posting contributions monthly here.

While not every artist contributed every month, each submission was unique and inspired. Today, I am sharing the best of ARTifacts, as chosen by each participant. Enjoy the show...

#ARTifacts: November 2017

Artifacts (plural noun): objects made by a human being, typically an item of cultural or historical interest.

ARTifacts (plural noun): a collaborative project for 2017 documenting adventures in art.

Every year I have so many "art memories" from my travels, my teaching, my adventures in NYC, and my studio work. I have decided that 2017 will be the year of ARTifacts where I document my adventures in art for the entire year in a physical book.

Always wanting to be inclusive, I turned my project into a no-rules collaboration. Participants were asked to find or make some sort of artist book, planner, scrapbook, 3-ring-binder, folder, or other container to document their creative experiences, whether they be in art, craft, or anything else. As you can see below, each and every participant put their own creative twist on this project.
