World Community Arts Day 17/02/07
On the 17th February 2007 the first World Community
Arts Day will take
place. On this day many artists and communities
worldwide will be adding
their voice that they wish to use "art as a catalyst
for caring and
sharing". That everyone is creative and if we all use
this for a cause or
issue we care about we can highlight possible
solutions. Paint a picture,
take a photogragh, sing a song, dance, write a poem,
etc.
For the first year and to get things we started by
asking those who were
connected with the Craigmillar Festival Society as we
know this group of
friends is worldwide.
Of course Community Arts is much bigger than this, so
others have joined
from around the world.
WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE DAY?
The day is now beginning to take shape and we have a
range of events,
lectures, webpages, installations, music, audio,
archives, poems and lots of
photos. we have pledges from UK, Mexico, Australia,
Portugal, South Africa,
Mexico, Malaysia, Ireland and USA: New Mexico, Los
Angeles, Chicago and New
York.
We can already say the event involves hundreds of
artists.
