Community Building by Stephanie Galloway
Free Art Friday is about community and art with a goal of building a connection between the two. Every member of a community has a unique creative gift to share making our city a beautifully diverse place to be.
Planting art in the city landscape has it bloom with color! So plant an art garden with Free Art Friday Albuquerque and watch it grow! Here is how to participate:
- Make a work of art that is easily removable and leaves no damage to it’s environment.
- Place a tag on it that lets the person seeing it know it is free for the taking
- Find a public place to leave it in. (You can also take a photo and post it to the Free Art Friday Albuquerque facebook page https://www.facebook.com/FreeArtFridayAlbuquerque to give a clue where it can be found.
- Sharing art with your community helps to make it a better place to live so please consider sharing your creativity!

Community Publishing: From the Community For the Community
The process is not complete until the light bulb is put in the lamp so the light can be seen. In much the same way that making the art is only part of the process until it is shared with others. Everyone has a special talent and that is the gift that we are given and what we do with that talent is our gift to the world! That is my goal through my work with 
freedom to create what we imagine! When we make art we can explore our inner world in a way that allows it to be expressed and connected with our outer world. In this way art is the bridge between our inner and outer vision that helps us to feel whole and be complete. 
Making room for art also lets citizens know that their talents and contributions are valued and appreciated. This nurturing of creativity incubates ideas that benefit and improve the standard of living for the entire community! Raising awareness about local art and artists is what motivates me with my work at 
Location, location, location! One of added benefits for the artist participating in
