| Reading one of the art books |
A few weeks ago I signed up to take part in this global crowd-sourced art project and THEN realized they were making a stop in Orlando. What great luck is that?! Tonight was the first night of their Orlando leg... and tomorrow from 3pm-7pm they'll be back at it. So glad my girl Gabs dragged me out of the studio today with a reminder of this event.
The Sketchbook Project is a worldwide creative experience. Together, thousands of regular people from around the world form a traveling library of handmade books. And it's not just for artists. This project is for anyone who craves an outlet for that undeniable creative bug. Anyone — from anywhere — regardless of his or her creative background can participate. It's pretty simple. You sign up (there is a $25 participation fee that helps to fund the project), they will send you a package containing a custom-designed Sketchbook Project sketchbook with a barcode on it, your chosen theme, and detailed instructions about the project. When you’re ready, just mail your sketchbook back to them. Your sketchbook will be archived in the Brooklyn Art Library and exhibited to the public through the traveling exhibition!

| My art heading to Austin! |
Tonight Gabby and I got to check out this exhibit... and what amazing talent is included! The staff is just wonderful which adds to the experience. After perusing through the library, we made a little "travel art" to send on to their next stop in Austin, TX. Before leaving we got our own travel art from past stops. Mine was from Ontario, Canada. Its just an overall fabulously fun event. Highly recommend check it out. And please consider taking part with me! $25 to be a part of something like this isn't much at all. Once my book is digitally archived, I'll add the link to my website (www.rhythmsofgracegallery.com) to share with everyone. I'm guessing next Spring sometime. Should be a fun project! ~ C
