What type of Charitable Component should this project have?
This thread is dedicated to discussing and ultimately deciding on what kind of charitable component the project should have. Obviously, we won't be donating the pennies, since they are the materials for our art piece. But we do want to do something that will encourage additional participation and something we, as a group, can all feel good about. Please add your suggestions and comments below. Everyone will be able to comment and, hopefully, we will come to a decision soon. Some ideas:
1. At the end of the project we can auction the piece and donate the money to a cause we agree upon... perhaps something that supports the arts in general or public art in particular.
2. At the end of the project we can donate the piece to the city for all to enjoy.
3. ??????
What do you think of these ideas? What ideas do you have? There is a link to this post on the left side of the homepage of the blog, under the heading "Discussion Pages." Feel free to add your comments all year long!
I think the it should have something to do with art. How about a fund for artists to help pay for art supplies?

ReplyDeleteand more powerful image to really get this message out there. I don't know how this could be done with pennies but it is the worst kind of abuse in this country and it is just a thought.
