Community art is artistic activity that is based in a community setting, characterized by interaction or dialogue with the community and often involving a professional artist collaborating with people who may not otherwise engage in the arts
This artwork process is about bringing everyone together in a community attending special events, festivals or mass gatherings by inviting all attendees to "make their mark" on the same canvas with many others marking a point in time / life . Often they are auctioned off at the event or sold afterwards to those who want to support local charities, creative Non-Profits, artists and the local community by donating and exhibiting the final artwork in their business, office or home . Sometimes I retouch them a bit, but they are not solely my personal artworks . I just provide free painting supplies/materials, weekend pop-up and facilitate, invite many people/painters usually creating fascinating themed abstracts over 2-3 days .
The popular, creative, international Llano Earth Art Festival (LEAF) was Cancelled for a few years due to the COVID Pandemic . Many regulars to this Festival are very active professional famous Rock Stackers, Land Artists and Musicians so it was a huge Celebration to come back so strong in 2022 with the most attendees/visitors/tickets sold EVER . So many Costumed adults, children, fairies and Sasquatch visited and painted on this wonderful canvas full of dripping leaf designs .
Each leaf is different . Some leafs are perfect and many others are not, but the are all colorful and REFLECT each artists uniquely personal perspective . Families, Elderly, Youth and Disabled ALL painted together, side by side, talking and sharing for long periods of time both masked and maskless . It was a JOY to participate in this awesome event again and this painting is ALIVE ! It let so many escape into a colorful world and made so many people relaxed and happy . It will never die .
And you can keep painting it if you want to ...
The DOT C2 reflective tape is indicative of so much COVID danger, fear, isolation and it glows to meet hazard . It can be removed to reveal the unpainted black/white leaf design so you can continue growing the painting . When is a painting ever really finished anyway ? A Great opportunity to continue building families, teams, community with this piece again some day ... It can only bloom more each time .
