Free Art Friday Drop Event: NJ MEGA MEET

Let’s have a Free Art Friday South Jersey presence at the NJ MEGA MEET!

The NJ MEGA MEET event is from 12-8pm on Friday, 5/12/2017, so please make your art drops during that timeframe in Atlantic City to coincide with the events. We may “target” an area of AC for the drops since AC is a big place – more info to come on that!

PLEASE NOTE: Public posting will be TURNED OFF on the Event Page on the day of the event so that all art drops are shared to our main page this time. This will hopefully avoid confusion for scavenger hunters looking for clues to art drops. If you have a question or need help with this in any way on the day of, please feel free to send us a message, comment on any of our posts, or make a post on our main page. We will get back to you as soon as possible!

*** WHAT IS FREE ART FRIDAY / HOW DO I MAKE AN “ART DROP”? ***

Free Art Friday is a global movement to provide free art to the community in a scavenger hunt-like fashion:
(1) Create a piece of art! This can be a small painting/drawing, an art print, a photo, poetry, a short story or novel draft, etc. See our past event page – Free Art Friday Drop Event: Pitman! – or check out the “Visitor’s Posts” on our main page for examples.
(2) Put a tag on the art to let passersby know it’s free for the taking. Include your name and/or our Facebook page name on the tag, along with #fafsouthjersey. If you have an Instagram handle, include that as well!
(3) Place your art in a public area, preferably on a Friday – for this event, we’ll be placing art in Atlantic City, NJ on 5/12/2017. NOTE: You do not need to contact anyone from South Jersey Adventures or drop off your art to anyone in particular at the NJ MEGA MEET event beforehand. This “event” is just to coordinate all art drops into one area and is not sponsored by South Jersey Adventures or anyone from NJ MEGA MEET. Artists should make their own drops around town. 😉
(4) Take a picture of your art in its public location. Post this photo to social media:
— Option 1: Post it to our Facebook page “Visitor’s Posts” section, and/or
— Option 2: Post it to Instagram using #fafsouthjersey and tagging @fafsouthjersey *in* the photo if your Instagram account is set to “Private”
(5) Casually walk away! Hopefully your piece of art finds a good home. If someone finds the art, they can come to your post and let you know it’s been “claimed.”
