The Sketchbook Project 3

For those of you who don't already know, we have started the Sketchbook Project 3! We are traveling to 6 different cities this time (and are about to add a couple more!) All you need to do is sign up, receive your the sketchbook we send you, and then work in it and send it back to us! Then we will take it on tour to museums and galleries all over the place! For more info head over to www.thesketchbookproject.com.

This is a great opportunity to add a bunch of shows to your resume and also create some awesome work along with artists from all over the world!

Check out the pictures from the sketchbook project 2!

Stuff your Sorries in a Sack Show!!




Hey everyone! On October 24th we had the opening for "Stuff your Sorries in a Sack" project. It was really fun! It was on one of our art walk nights and even in the rain we got a few hundred people that stopped by! I'm putting up a picture of the sacks as well as some of the other stuff that was up that night! Check it out! (Thanks to Ted Ullrich for the photos!)

Thanks everyone for being a part of it!

Hello!

Dear Everyone,

Hello, Steven here! With the fall coming, Shane and I have decided to make a little promise to all of our participants. We realize the need and the want to receive items from projects much faster then you have in the past. However, this was very slow and sometimes took months for you to receive your item, causing you to possibly lose trust and excitement in our projects. We want to change that. Starting now, with any new project we start, you will receive your package in less then 2 weeks (unless otherwise stated.) We hope that this will allow more creativity to flow and more time for you to work on your creations.

Speaking of new projects, we have some exciting new things on the horizon. Our next project is called The Scavenger Project, which is a scavenger hunt of sorts. When you sign up, we will send you a confidential folder with a list of 24 items. The things on the list are not just things you can find anywhere. They are things you have to look for. And they are not just items, they are moments and scenarios. It will allow you to be creative and to compare what you come up with to other people all over the world!

Here is the best part: It is going to made into a book! Everyone who participates in this project will have at least one picture in the book. The goal of the book is to showcase how a mass of creatives will portray subjects differently based on their own experience, their individual eye, and geographic location. We're excited to give everyone a chance to be published in a book!

Our new website – which Shane has been hard at work on and will be done in about a month or so – will allow for even more communication between participants. You will be able to post your progress on projects, upload photos as you work and even ask for critiques and suggestions! We will have areas that will let you communicate with others involved in the same projects so you can collaborate and brainstorm together. We are looking to bring the artists "co-op" feel to the internet!

We want to thank everyone who has ever been a part of Art House! We are so excited about the future and hope that you are, too. Without everyone's excitement, none of this would be possible.

Thank you,

Steven Peterman and Shane Zucker

Mail time!

One of the best parts about putting together the communal art projects is having the privilege of opening the packages when they come in the mail. The Sketchbook Project deadline is approaching soon, so we've started to see them trickle in. Here's two of our favorites so far:

Rebecca Horwood from Oxford, England sent us her sketchbook in a sweet package with a bunch of sticker goodies!



We've gotten about 26 prints for the Great Art House Print Exchange. If you signed up for it and haven't submitted your prints yet, please send them in ASAP. We'd love to get another 14 sets in so we can collate two sets of 20. We'll post some more prints in the future, but we've dying to show off Junkyard Sam's print:

Stuff Your Sorries in a Sack



Stuff your baggage in the sack we send you and move on with your life - because this project is all about letting go.

We're sending out up to 500 little sacks that we want you to fill with things that you need to get off your chest. We will then be hosting a reception for them at our gallery in Atlanta, Ga where we will put your sacks filled with your old baggage out in the open and let people experience what you have moved on from.
