Call For Entries...
I heard that if you don’t act on an idea within five minutes of having it, you’ll never do it. Well, here’s my idea and I’m acting on it... I’m calling on those that have met the last year with a creative response. Visual artists, culinary artists, musicians, dancers, craftspeople, writers, anyone using a creative outlet to manage your days.
I’d like to feature you, your work and your story. Currently, I am organizing a questionnaire (or rather a framework of questions) meant to guide your story in key areas I’m observing. (What do you do, why are you doing it and how does it effect you or others, especially with the impact of the pandemic?) All data will be compiled in book form with links for those endeavors that need audio or video support. If there’s only a small response, then a pamphlet it shall be. If there’s a large response, then it could grown in to an online community.
I’m open to whatever this spontaneous project brings. I’ve used this last year noticing so many responses to our pandemic situation. Many emotions, perspectives and ways of navigating through the turbulent times. I’m interested in what we turn to for comfort or expression or encouragement or whatever. I’m interested in what you need to make it in to the next hour. I’m interested in listening to your story and not judging it from my perspective, but to celebrate how we all have a way of making choices that ultimately bring us in to some sort of space of comfort. What does that look like for you? Can you tell me about it in photos and words?
If you’re interested in being a part of this or contributing in some way, please inquire and I will send you some of the general requirements to submit your work and story. Since I have no idea what’s to become of this, I’m just putting out there that things can evolve. I appreciate your interest, your participation and any helpful input you may have. Thank you!
