Fri 11/29
This Black Friday could be the beginning of the largest guerrilla street art movement in the history of the United States. FLOOD the Streets with Art! is more conceptual than organized, but the fundamental idea is simple at its core.
The idea is the brainchild of Wisconsin’s Scott Wong. While everyone else is frantically purchasing everything in sight, Wong is calling on every artist in the US to make a piece of art and leave it on the streets in a public location for a random stranger to find, take home and cherish forever. He is only asking for one creation per artist (but you’re welcome to make and give away as many as you’d like).
Potential locations include: shopping malls, high-profile Black Friday “Big Box” retailers (like Walmart, Target and Best Buy), bus stations, parks, Tower City, a museum or the zoo (you’ll have to smuggle it in – also, a casino), libraries, post offices, banks/ATMs, gas stations, churches, etc.
To help strangers understand the concept, Wong suggests adding a “Free” price tag to your work (along with information about the concept of the event and your contact info on the back). We personally recommend hiding somewhere and filming the reaction(s). Send us photos/videos/links if you do!
