World Community Arts Day 17/02/07

On the 17th February 2007 the first World Community Arts Day will take
place. On this day many artists and communities worldwide will be adding
their voice that they wish to use "art as a catalyst for caring and
sharing". That everyone is creative and if we all use this for a cause or
issue we care about we can highlight possible solutions. Paint a picture,
take a photogragh, sing a song, dance, write a poem, etc.

For the first year and to get things we started by asking those who were
connected with the Craigmillar Festival Society as we know this group of
friends is worldwide.

Of course Community Arts is much bigger than this, so as the day has
developed and others have joined.


WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE DAY?
The day is now beginning to take shape and we have a range of events,
lectures, webpages, installations, music, audio, archives, poems and lots of
photos. we have pledges from UK, Mexico, Australia, Portugal, South Africa,
Mexico, Malaysia, Ireland and USA: New Mexico, Los Angeles, Chicago and New
York.

We can already say the event involves hundreds of artists. Certainly the
Communiversity website and others has had an increase in hits and views.
