Free Art Friday: Art Drop

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on February 9, 2018 Respond

By Stephanie Galloway

There is a certain freedom and excitement that comes with doing a Free Art Friday art drop. After making a piece of art and you get ready to let go of it there is a freedom in not being attached to what will happen to it. There is questions you ask yourself like: Will someone find it? Will someone like it? But once you do it a couple of times you become more comfortable with not having guaranteed answers to these questions.

Art DropAnother thing you think about when doing an art drop is where would be a good spot to leave it. I usually pick a spot that has heavy foot traffic so it has better chance of being found but it is always fun to leave in an unsuspecting place that will surprise someone finding it too. The element of surprise and unknowing of the outcomes is the exciting part.

I do have hopes for the art when I put it out in a public place to be found and that hopes are that it will brighten the day of the person that finds it and gives a message that art has a place in the everyday lives of people in the community. We are all artists and have creativity to share and I hope Free Art Friday Albuquerque encourages people to make art and be an active participant in bring more art into their community because art is empowering and helps to build a strong community!

Free Art Friday: The Value of Free

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on February 27, 2016 Respond

The Value of Free by Stephanie Galloway

The Value of FreeJust because something is free it does not mean it has no value. In a world where we often judge things my there price tag Free Art Friday Albuquerque helps to show us an alternative way of seeing the value in art.  The importance of art in our culture can then be rooted in what it means to people beyond its monetary value.

Some of the most special pieces of art I have are gifts that were freely given to me. They are connected to emotional and spiritual experiences that I am able to revisit every time I see them. A person that finds a Free Art Friday art often Value of Freeassociates the piece they find with its location and what they were doing at the time they found it.

So in a way Free Art Friday art helps to create a lasting memory for someone which can also give a sense of purpose and pride for the artist knowing that their art had an important part of making a memory.

Free Art Friday: Flowers in the Winter

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on February 20, 2016 Respond

Flowers in the Winter by Stephanie Galloway

A rainbow of colors is the perfect cure for the winter blues. In the winter it is common to feel a bit sad due to the colder temperatures and less sunlight. One thing that always helps to cheer Free Art Friday Albuquerqueme up is making a painting with bright and bold colors!

When I leave a painting  outdoors for someone to take on Free Art Friday the contrast of bright colors in the painting stand out in comparison to the natural grays and browns of winter.  It makes me smile to look at bright colors and helps me to remember that the colors of spring are underground and will soon show themselves as flowers! Until then we can make our own colors to share!

Free Art Friday: Art’s Medium is Love

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on December 5, 2015 Respond

Art’s Medium is Love by Stephanie Galloway

Making and sharing art is a positive act of love that can change the world for the better! Making art is a form of expression that allows us to process feelings in a safe and healthy Loveway.  

Art also gives us a way to visualize our thought process and can give us a better understanding of who we are. With all the gifts that art gives us we then have the opportunity to take those gifts and give back to the community through sharing the art with others.

Getting art can make someone feel loved and when it is shared it creates a positive interaction between people and that has a positive impact in the world we live in! That is one of my primary motivations for my involvement with Free Art Friday!
