Found Art Project

The found art / art abandonment movement has been around for many years. It's most common for people do painted rocks, and many people are in groups that create and then leave these gifts for people to find.

During Covid I started giving away Art and continued to do it for 18 months every single week. I still do it today, just not quite as often. :)

As a result I was nominated for an Australia Day Award and became a finalist for Community Involvement. I loved giving happiness to others, and the responses from people who found the art was wonderful.

I still remember the person who contacted me in tears about how crap their week had been, and how finding a little treasure just lightened their load and brightened their day. I also love that some people that took the art pieces they found and repositioned them somewhere else for other people to find. 

If you would like to get involved, I've made a free template for you to download and use!

Sharing joy, one colourful piece at a time. ❣️

I started out with placing the Art in plastics bags to protect against weather, and potential germs, and printed out my own small cards with information to include in the bag. As time went on I got the cards printed professionally to make it simpler for me.

I left Art in my local area, on walks and hikes I did within a few hours from home. Once the world opened up again, I was leaving it in various locations I was travelling to, including the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Sydney, Launceston, London and Europe.
