For anybody who wants to contribute to the book with their own statement on the importance of art, or where art is hiding that the normal non-artist doesn’t see, or statistics about how much money is spent in any art-related field, whatever you want really, that cites the importance and everywhere-ness of the art we live and breath, now’s your chance to voice your love of art!
YOU don’t even have to be an artist, maybe you just know one (married one, birthed one or just appreciate their hard work, etc) And the statement can be about any kind of art as well: theater, dance, music, visual, the written word, movies, you name it, just:
• write down/doodle/illustrate/digitally design the sentiment / fact / statistic
• in a 9”x7” LANDSCAPE format
• in whatever medium you’d like• mail it (to 4041 Powelton Ave, Apt A1, Philadelphia, PA 19104) or scan it to me sized at atleast 300dpi, or email at artisticrebuttal@yahoo.com
• include your name, state and profession/website with your statement
After I collect all those who want to participate, I will make a book out of them using Lulu.com.
The drawing could take you 5 minutes or 5 days, I don’t care, it’s mostly the statements that I’m focusing in on. But most of us being artistically-swayed, a little flare would be appreciated.
