Description:

Share The Art. If you have been doing a lot of art in swaps or for yourself, I encourage you to share it.

For this swap you will send to your swapper artwork you have that either you did or another swapper did. It can be an ATC, painted rock, Fabric Postcard, note card or some art larger. What ever you can send.

Then when you get it, you abandon it in the world somewhere. Put a note on it that says it is free art. Make sure you do not have your address on it or email or anyone else's. .

Just leave it in your travels around town. There is a facebook group called Abandoned Art that do it. I have left my artwork, mostly fabric art in Walmart, resturants as I leave, libraries. Park benches, etc. Sometimes it is hard to let go but it is just for one piece you may have of many.

Remember, a note saying "This Is a Free - take me home" easily seen attached. I put mine in plastic zip top bags. When you do this, let your swapper know where you set it free!, if you like.via your rating the swap or a personal note.

This is a great group and hope many will join in.
This will not be Angelled as it's hard to give up Art you have received from swappers or done yourself. We can all spare at least one item, right? You must abandon it though.

Questions just ask! I hope that this is clear!

Can this be older artwork? I've got atcs hanging about from the early 2000s. Nothing wrong with them, they just haven't found a home yet. :)

If you do the art and want to sign it go ahead. I am just trying to protect y'all from unwanted email. It's sharing anyway!

This is an extension of the Free Art Fridays giveaway movement in which artists in some communities band together and create to make people aware they exist. I sent work to a FAF group in England. FAF Detroit collapsed from what I can tell.

I know as I did belong to that too. There is a facebook site called Abandoned Art which is very lively. On this swap please let the swapper who sent you the art to abandon a note or message that you put it somewhere, either city and store or park bench or wherever.
