What is Fun-a-Day Baltimore?

What is Fun-A-Day? A chance to make art (or just have fun) every day in the month of January with the artclash! collective–

The premise is simple: pick a project, do it every day in January, then show your work the following month in a big group show.

Started in 2004 by a group of friends in Philadelphia, Fun-A-Day began as a way to stay creative and motivate each other to make things through the winter. Now in its seventh year, Fun-A-Day has grown from its Philadelphia roots–in 2010 there were 10 Fun-A-Day shows, organized by different art collectives and groups of friends across the country.

If there’s not a Fun-A-Day show in your community, consider organizing one. It’s fun, easy and you’ll probably meet new friends!

Inspired by a group of friends from Pittsburgh (where Fun-A-Day has been a local art/punk tradition for a few years now), I’m working to pull together a Fun-A-Day show here in Baltimore. To make this happen, we need two things: participants and organizers.

How can I participate?

Pick a project by January 1! Your project can be anything– a photograph-a-day, a poem-a-day, a painting-a-day, a song-a-day or anything you’d like to do every day for a month. You can find ideas and share your own project on the Fun-A-Day website. Let us know what you’re planning and invite your friends to come up with their own projects. Everyone is welcome to participate in the show, which we’ll make sure is free to participate in and free to attend.

How can I help organize?

Help us get the word out! With only a couple weeks before January 1, we need your help to share the Fun-A-Day idea with Baltimore artists of all sorts. We’re also looking for a small gallery or venue where we could install a show. Most Fun-A-Day shows are just a one day event so we’re flexible! Finally, we need folks who can help hang a show and promote the event. Interested? Let me know in the comments or contact organizer Kat Johnston at funadaybaltimore@gmail.com.
