"ART AS A CATALYST FOR CARING AND SHARING"
Join us in 2009 and be creative to raise an important issue you believe in.
AIM HISTORY LOGO IMAGES SCHEDULE PRESS
To create a World Festival Society for a day
All we ask of you on that day is to do an arts project, however small or big. Be creative about an issue that you believe promotes "caring and sharing". Song, dance, theatre, draw, paint, write, make, poem, photogragh, lecture, walk, tour, talk, art class anyway that you feel you are creative! It maybe an ongoing project you wish to highlight.
Put it on a website, mark it with "World Community Arts day 2009", then send the link to us and we shall put it on this webpage. Or maybe you just want to do it within your own community, great. It is being creative that is important. It could be a small or large gathering. Or add an image or sound, etc to an existing website to mark this day. If you can mark the event on your website in the build up to it that would be great too.
We are not asking for money, but your creativity and artistic skills to celebrate this day.
The aim is to create a world festival society for a day, to illustrate how festival and celebration through art can provide answers.
OUR BIGGEST FESTIVAL
This is the third year and each year it grows. This is our biggest yet with thousands of people joining in and bringing many projects from many countries. Many are adding artwork, music, photos, etc online into a range of social networks. Look and enjoy the diverse range of creativity.
TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS WEBSITE
To be included in this website we ask for you to have words "World Community Arts Day " or the Green Circle Logo on your website or contact us and we will create a special page, but prefer if it is on another/your own website.
SCHEDULE
