1000 Pieces of Free Art Update

Noah Zark in Israel recently completed his project to create 1000 pieces of free art in 2013!



Why did you decide to do this project? I decided to do the project for a few reasons but more than anything I just wanted to share the feeling of finding art out on the street that you can take home. I first experienced that at a "My Dog Sighs" show after finding 2 of his pieces in the street after the gallery show.





How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? I have learned what my limits are and I pushed passed them in several ways. I learned many new techniques and was flooded with ideas. It forced me to be productive in my art when normally I can get sidetracked with the minutia of every day life.



Now what? As far as what comes next I cannot get into the specifics of it but I will be doing another free art project. It is not a year long and there is no set number but as of right now I am thinking of doing 3-4 unique spots worldwide to do a mass free art drop.  I am also attempting to break out of my box a bit and do some more 3D work and more glass work in 2014.

1000 Free Pieces of Art

Noah Zark in Israel is making 1000 Free Pieces of Art in 2013!...


Why did you decide to do this project? I had been doing free art for many years now but never really thought much of it... I never even signed my name. I had recently started selling artwork online with the idea of selling original artwork (not prints) at an affordable price. I went to an event at a gallery for the artist "My Dog Sighs" who inspired me to take this concept of free art a bit more seriously. On the way out of the show I happened upon 2 pieces of free art by "My Dog Sighs" and the feeling that it gave me to find it was awesome. I knew I wanted to be a part of making people feel that as well.

Over the next few weeks I dropped a few pieces here and there. On New Year's Eve I had an idea of challenging myself to do an entire year of spreading free art. I settled on a nice round number of 1000 pieces figuring that it would round off to about 20 pieces a week. It is a huge undertaking but I must say that I am very excited and cannot wait to see what 2013 brings us all. :)



How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? Well so far I have only been doing this for 2 days but I must say that the response has been uncanny. I have met people in town and online that are very happy with the concept and I am just happy to be spreading art and hopefully a bit of joy :)
