It’s Your Turn: Join the Crusade

As an update to Kate’s post last week on the Crusade for Art tour, I’m happy to report that Jennifer Schwartz‘s initiative to merrily bring art to the people is in full swing. After a successful first stop pop-up event in sunny Venice, CA, folks walked away happy, and with free art. Yes, you heard me!

Straight from the Crusade for Art blog, “In case you need a refresher, five local photographers are curated into the project in each tour city. They each give away ten signed copies of one of their images in a 6x9ish size. The artists need to have chutzpah too, since they actively engage people walking by. This group was tops.”

The five artists featured in the Local Photographer Showcase (from left): Bootsy Holler, Tom Johnson, Shannon Leith, Kurt Simonson, Jeff Rau – each holding the image they gave away

The Crusade blog continues, “There wasn’t a single moment of pause – it was a chorus of “Would you like to become an art collector today for free?” and “Would you like an original signed photograph to take home today?”. Art guns blazing, charm for days – these photographers were amazing and each made it a point to have meaningful conversations with their new collectors about the image, about themselves, about the project, about the awesomeness of art.”

If this sounds 100% cool to you, check out the Crusade for Art blog for behind the scenes details of Lady Blue’s journey and meet up with the tour on one of their stops.
