Free Art Friday: From the Ordinary to the Extraordinary

Art Delivers Us From the Ordinary To The Extraordinary
by Stephanie Galloway

Art making is one of those activities that gives us the ability to observe our daily life experiences and see how they are connected to the bigger picture that makes up the entire Universe. Much like the act of looking at the night sky or the grand beauty of nature lets us Stephanie Gallowayrealize that creation is not only about our little corner of the world but is part of a vast existence.

Art is a way for us to convey and understand the feelings connected with knowing that we are part of something that is infinite! This is why at times when we see a work of art it can give us the same sensation and wonder that seeing the Grand Canyon does. When we do art we can step out of the illusion that we are just defined by the small space we occupy and know that we are limitless!

Free Art Friday: Art Is Revolutionary

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on January 26, 2018 Respond

Art Is Revolutionary by Stephanie Galloway

Free Art FridayArt has the power to create positive social change because of its ability to motivate people to action through invoking strong emotions about an issue. When people see art they can feel a strong connection to it which inspires them to stand for a cause they believe in. For example if you think about protest images, poetry, and songs they are strongly associated with Free Art Fridaypolitical movements. The art of protest posters and marching songs play a central part in most revolutionary change that has occurred in society.

Art is a strong voice for change that people can connect and identify with because it takes a revolutionary idea and helps others to more clearly visualize it! Art can move people to be active participants in the democratic process which makes it more people centered! So make art and be a positive force for change!

Art Eyes by Stephanie Galloway

Ever since I started Free Art Friday Albuquerque I see the city I live in in a different way. As I explore the city I see the places I go to as art opportunities! Every space seems to hold the potential for leaving art Art Eyesin for someone to find. Bus stops, libraries, trees, park benches all start to look like places that could use more art.

Most public places I encounter now seem like good places to share art in. So it has made me more art minded and has me looking at the city I live in more positively and expand my ideas about where art belongs. Try sharing art in public spaces, you might learn something about your city that you didn’t already know!

Free Art Friday: Art Speaks Through Anonymity

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on June 24, 2016 Respond

Art Speaks Through Anonymity by Stephanie Galloway

Free ArtIt is easy to get caught up in ego when it comes to a desire to be recognized for our art and get caught up in the race to become known and famous. In this process of art getting attached to a name we can forget that art takes on a life of its own independent from the artist.

It is not that the artist is not important. The artist is a necessary vessel which creativity pours through and makes art possible. Artists are super heroes and sometimes a secret or anonymous identity is needed to remind us that the act of making art and the art itself is what makes the artist!

Free Art Friday: A Mother’s Love

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on May 9, 2016 Respond

A Mother’s Love by Stephanie Galloway

Mother's LoveWhen I was a child I would bring a work of art I made to my mom and she would proudly display it on the refrigerator. The loving act of her doing this gave me confidence in myself and pride in my work. It also encouraged me to continue being creative. The public display in the house for all the family members to see and enjoy made me feel more a part of the family. I always carry with me the love she put into appreciating my art.

In much the same way when you put out a work of art for Free Art Friday and hear back that someone picked it up and took it home for some motherly love, care and appreciation. Make some art to share and help to nurture the artist within you and put it out there to grow from the loving care of someone that will give it a home.

Free Art Friday: Sharing Art

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on April 15, 2016 Respond

By Stephanie Galloway

Sharing ArtI have been doing Free Art Friday Albuquerque for three years and in that time I have been touched by the stories people have shared about how they found the art and what meaning it had for them. People have found art on their way to work, in a grocery store parking lot, in a tree in the park and many other public places. I often hear that after someone finds a piece they are inspired to make art to share too.

Galleries have a place in the art world too but what about people who want to share their art but for whatever reason do not have access to a gallery to show their art.

Arts for Sharing

Sharing ArtFree Art Friday is a way for any artist to share their work with their community. I think that in this way it gives something to the artist and the person who finds it. We are all artists and there is a power in sharing something handmade that makes one feel like they are an important part of the city they live in.

A public setting provides the perfect backdrop for all this to occur in. Art has the power to touch lives and connects us all in a human way like nothing else can and to be part of that process is a true gift!
