From Spokane, With Art

March 20, 2010 3 Comments

The RiverSpeak Arts Collective has kept up with a great series of monthly creative challenges designed to inspire collaboration and build community. Last month was a Limerick Challenge, and this month is a Postcard Challenge.

“Spokane Has Art” is not the Deviant Art group that proclaims:

This group is to support the belief that Spokane art exists.
Feel free to invite other Spokanites and ask questions.

“Spokane Has Art” is an invitation to send original art to friends in other cities with the phrase incorporated into the postcard design. It is a simpler version of the Spocare Package idea I pitched back in June.

How often can we say it? Spokane DOES have excellent arts venues and opportunities, but so often we are judged by our big-city neighbors. It’s time to set the record straight by sending a little artistic love snail-mail style.

For April’s Creative Challenge, we’re asking our members to create artistic postcard images (about 4″ x 6″) that will be printed and sent to artists and art collectives in other cities.

You may use any visual medium you wish, as long as it is your own, original work, and the words “SPOKANE HAS ART” are incorporated on the postcard.

1. CREATE your “Spokane has art” postcard
2. SCAN your postcard image
3. SUBMIT/UPLOAD it at http://riverspeak.net/challenge by April 15th

We look forward to receiving your submission!

If you live outside Spokane and would like to receive a handmade postcard, send your name and mailing address to thespovangelist [at] gmail [dot] com and I’ll do my best to hook you up!
