Art Drop Day 2016 - A Real Life Event

[Jrej]

Hello Everyone,

Just noticed a cool event is coming up.
I happens every year on the second Tuesday of September.

This year it falls on September 6th!

It's Art Drop Day!
It's an event launched by the legendary Mr Jake Parker.
For extra details and videos of his adventures checkout www.artdropday.com.

So what is it?
You draw, paint, or ink something and just hide it somewhere in your area.
Then just share the location of the piece here on Tapastic and on social medias under #artdropday.

A random stranger will pick it up and you would have made someone happy!
I think it's an awesome way to share art and connect in the real life.

This is a world wide event, so wherever you are, feel free to participate.

Where will you hide it?

This is great in theory, but what if the person who picks it up just tosses it out without giving it a second look 8D;;;

I would try to find somewhere less... risky, like the inside of a library book, and make the art loosely relevant to the book.

[mariusthered]

love the idea, but where i live i would risk a fine for littering

[Jrej]

@keii4ii I know right? I thought about someone tossing it too. But I do a lot of things without guarantee of results with art. Just thinks it's pretty cool to give it a try.
Wouldn't spend too much on the drawing just in case!

@aronthemason Littering?!? But it's art! I know what you mean. There's a few places where I live that accept free display. Otherwise I would try in a library, a book shop, a cafe.
They might throw it away but maybe they wont. That's the beauty of it!

oh yeah I did that once... forgot the whole folder of my comics on the bus =_=
I'm not as upset about losing comics as I am about the possibility of someone actually looking at that =__=

Anyone here live in holland? Near Eindhoven? cuz it would be useless if nobody here lives there

[Jrej]

I'm in switzerland, so it's way to far!
I know we might not find the right person to share it with but the possibilty of a random stranger liking it could be great too!

I live in nyc.... but bayside which I like 2 hours from the city. Sooo yeah not likely it'll work well for me.

[Jrej]

Oh too bad. Must be nice being so close from New York. I've been there a few times. It's such a vibrant city. Everying is much smaller here in Europe.
A whole different debate...

[indagold]

Manhattan sucks, subway stations haven't changed since the 40s, half is tourist bait other half is overpriced garbage. Only thing good is the museums, parks and some attractions.

I do this every year!! I'm dropping mine on the stairs by the Bethesda fountain! I'm leaving it by the pillar with the witch and the owl, it will be there!

Last year I tapped the drawing under one of the mushrooms of the Alice In Wonderland sculpture.

Oh yeah, all these places are in NYC lol

[Jrej]

Oh cool! Thought I'd be all by myself on this one!
I Just have to figure out what I'll draw.
Maybe something original for the occasion.

I know I'll end up using an old drawing from my sketchbook if I lack time...
Just have to be beautiful for someone to pick it up!
