Free Art Friday Denver

Free Art Friday Denver Artwork placed on the street for any member of the public to enjoy and take home -- go on, make someone's day! Here's how it works:

1. P.S.

An artist creates a custom piece of art – anything from a painting to a screenprint to a sculpture.

2. Write a note on your Art like "Free Art.. Take ME Home ..especially created for you!" Include your name, personal website and a message asking the finder of the art to post on Facebook, Free Art Friday Denver page showing off their new piece of art.

3. Hide your Art somewhere in the City or Me

tro Area, but please be respectful of each other and the property where you are dropping your Art.

4. The artist posts a photo of the drop spot to the Free Art Friday Denver page. This will get all of the page followers excited. Sorta like a treasure hunt!

5. Anyone who finds it is free to take the artwork home. We just ask that they post a photo to this page letting us know it has found a good home. It doesn't have to be Friday! Do it on whatever day works for you!

General information

The concept of Free art Friday has many strands. For the artist it is an opportunity to create work free from the constraints of commerce, to voice an idea, shout a political message or just amuse and confuse the viewer. Art is so often tied to a need by the artist to ‘make a living’ and constrained by gallery and dealer issues. It focuses the artist on the act itself, giving complete artistic freedom as opposed to considering financial and commercial limits. The act of removing the work intrigues. Almost an act of situationist art itself. Is there guilt? Why is it taken – as part of a street cleaning operation, resigned to the rubbish heap? or coveted and displayed? Are they artists themselves? Kids, willing to steal and destroy purely for the act of rebellion or someone never faced with something completely free, not promoting or selling? After all how many things do you know that are completely free, no strings attached?
