Free Art Friday: Inspiring the Future

Inspiring the Future by Stephanie Galloway

One of the most powerful memories I have from my childhood is visiting art museums and Free Art Friday Albuquerqueseeing public art in the form of murals and sculptures. I remember going home and making art pieces that were inspired by what I saw.

Now as an adult being an artist is still a big part of my life. I credit the art I encounter as a child as the main reason behind my decision to be an artist. In a similar way, when you leave your art in a public space for Free Art Friday you never know who you are inspiring to make art too! Art is how you see the world and that is a gift that can be passed down to future generations and live forever! Be eternal, make art!

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: Celebrating Treasured Places

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on January 29, 2016 Respond

Celebrating Treasured Places by Stephanie Galloway

Celebrating Sacred PlacesEach of us has our favorite places to go here in Albuquerque, whether it is a local coffee shop or museum we all have special places we like to frequently visit here in town. There are good feelings that come along with going to our favorite spots. I like to go to areas that remind me of fun times I have had with friends or that provide a nurturing environment that stimulates my creativity.

Parks are some of my favorite places in the city because they provide an outside space where one can commune with nature and play. I like to celebrate and show appreciation for these spaces by leaving art in those areas for Free Art Friday. So if you have a favorite spot you like to visit here in Albuquerque leaving a gift of art in gratitude for its existence is a great way to celebrate it!

Free Art Friday: Making Art Inclusive

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on December 12, 2015 Respond

Attempts at participating in art shows can be discouraging and make people feel like outsiders. Art is not meant to be done and owned only by a few people. Everyone is an artist Free Art Fridayin their own way and should feel supported and encouraged and feel like they are an important part of the creative community.

Free Art Friday is a place where anyone is welcomed to participate.  One of my goals with Free Art Friday Albuquerqueis to have it be something that values the contributions that artists offer to the community and have the artist feel like their art is key in making it a success and that they are included in a global art movement that brings people together through art.

Whether you are an artist, a seasoned veteran of the arts “scene” or just gearing up for your first visit to an Art Gallery, welcome to the family of artists that is inclusive and appreciative of your support!

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!
