11.11.11. NOV 11TH IS OFFICIALLY A NEW HOLIDAY.

As I was driving past the gallery this afternoon of 11.11.11. something caught my eye in the doorway of the gallery. Went to park the car, rushed down to turn the corner and find a random gift of art deposited directly on our doorstep.

At first I thought that it was inspired by our epic solo show from Corey Smith and his “We’re brOKe” art in the window, but then my brian started calculating that it could be something more.

For months I have been racking my brain about corporate America’s ability to get products in a place where the products consumption is a TRADITION. Diamonds upon engagement, wedding AND anniversaries. Flowers and Candy on Valentines Day. Costumes on Halloween. etc etc etc etc etc…

Bing! November 11th should now be forever known as the give art day. If you are an artist, make something and randomly deliver it to someone’s doorstep that you love. If you’re not as crafty, go to your local gallery and buy art to give. It’s a simple as that. Show your love through the gift of art.

We love our gift. The original token of Give Art Day. It has a place of honor at AR4T.
