Do I have to be a professional artist or art organization?

Nope. Being a registered World Art Break Day location has just a few requirements.

1. FREE. World Art Break Day MUST be free to attend. You may not charge an entry fee.

2. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. We encourage you to set up your World Art Break Day site in a public space. This global art movement is about connecting communities across the world through art. The easiest way to do that is to set up your art supplies, etc. in an outside space that has free access and is open to the public. If you are an organization that is holding World Art Break Day in your building we just ask that you allow anyone and everyone to walk through your doors and take part in Art Break Day. We understand this is not always possible and please don’t let it stop you from registering – just reach out if you have questions.

3. ART! There are no requirements about what kind of art is being made on World Art Break Day, only that art is being made!

4. MARKETING. Please make sure to include our World Art Break Day website: www.ArtBreakDay.org in all of your marketing materials (online and on paper)

We would also really, really, really appreciate:

Photo documentation of your World Art Break Day Event. You can use a fancy camera, a point and shoot, your phone, anything that takes pictures. It’s always so wonderful to see how many different communities gather together across the globe and join one another for a worldwide art break. We would love a link to the images via Dropbox or Flickr as soon as possible after the event.

Pay it forward. Participants have the choice to take their art with them or leave it and add to the temporary “live gallery” that happens on Art Break Day. Please give away as much of the art as you can. If you have the space for an exhibition, we would love for you to showcase the work and then give it away for free. We want as much art out in the world as possible.
