RE: Free Art - Art Is For Everyone Movement
I’ll have to look more into gift economy. It sounds like something right up my alley! If more people knew the how much they would recieve, in terms of satisfaction and joy, for giving with no expectation of recieving, everyone would be giving all the time! I especially love leaving something somewhere and not writing my name on it. When I walk away, I know that no one will ever know that I left it there, and I probably won’t ever know who recieved it, but knowing it may have made someone smile, or improved their day makes me so happy! I’m excited about the participation in the #freearttuesday tag so far. In the last 2 weeks, 5 people have posted under the tag. I know that’s not a lot, but it’s a start, and I wasn’t sure anyone would be interested at all. But I know that if there’s one community that is generous and active enough to take free art to the next level, it’s this one!!!
You hit the nail on the head before I even got to it. It's a no brainer, isn't it? Giving creates abundance, that's the point. There's no end to it when everyone participates. The problem is that we don't (myself included). I want to participate more and your post reminded me of that. I wish I had a more creative mind and more to give. I'm sure I can think up some things.
