Found Artists
Found Art is a community of people who believe that giving of themselves through their art can change the world. If you found a piece of art that directed you to this site, you are a lucky finder of art that was created in the hopes of brightening your day.
Our artists are in the process of building pages to show the work they've created and left as part of the Found Art project. See Found Artists in Action by clicking here.

Leaving Your Photography as Found Art
|
|
There's a new story at JPG Magazine about a woman who leaves her photos as Found Art. It's simple enough to do through great companies like Moo.com and VistaPrint.com. Moo.com makes it easy to get several different pictures at one time. The pictures are small and can be slipped into all sort of places for people to find. Vista Print may be a little cheaper, and the images will be larger, though you'll get several copies of one single image. Both options are fun to think about and great ways to leave art and bring joy to others.

The work will be exhibited one night at the event then subsequently exhibited at the John Bryan Community Gallery for one month. There is no entry fee, work should be delivered at the time the event starts with name, address/phone number, title and price attached to the work.
There will be live music, video slideshow, small found art project (NOT found art as in objet trouvé, but art made with the intent to be found). Examples of found art can be seen here or here.

Give a leg up not a hand out!
|
|
msmick writes "A few friends and I are starting a project using found objects to give the homeless a "leg up" not a "hand out":
The Idea -- leave found art objects with a positive, inspirational message of hope and perhaps a gift card, lottery ticket, article of clean clothing or decorated shoes - whatever we choose to use then we'll leave the found art objects near shelters in the city. Of course, it will bear the URL of this wonderful website!
If you would like to start a project for the homeless, just let us know!

Photographs left at Museum, Library, mall
|

bobby writes "I was busy today, leaving 3 original photographs in three locations locally. One taken with a "fish eye" view inside of an abandoned Portland Cement plant in Manitowoc, WI, one of a vine covered door at that same plant, and one of Fraisers "End of The Trail" statue located in Waupun, WI. All were original Black and White photographs, 4X5, 5X7 and 8X10. I also got an invitation from the museum to participate in a "show" later this Summer!
Yesterday I left a Photograph (8X10) at the local Holiday Inn motel
So far I have not had any response to my submissions but it is fun waiting!"

In your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go
and sheltered so may thrive and grow.
