World Community Arts Day 17/02/07

http://www.communiversity.org.uk/worldcommunityartsday.htm

On the 17th February 2007 the first World Community Arts Day will take

place. On this day many artists and communities worldwide will be adding

their voice that they wish to use "art as a catalyst for caring and

sharing". That everyone is creative and if we all use this for a cause or

issue we care about we can highlight possible solutions. Paint a picture,

take a photogragh, sing a song, dance, write a poem, etc.

For the first year and to get things we started by asking those who were

connected with the Craigmillar Festival Society as we know this group of

friends is worldwide.

Of course Community Arts is much bigger than this, so others have joined

from around the world.

WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE DAY?

The day is now beginning to take shape and we have a range of events,

lectures, webpages, installations, music, audio, archives, poems and lots of

photos. we have pledges from UK, Mexico, Australia, Portugal, South Africa,

Mexico, Malaysia, Ireland and USA: New Mexico, Los Angeles, Chicago and New

York.

We can already say the event involves hundreds of artists.
