Denver Artists Sticking it to the Man

So I am really interested and fascinated with the amount of art of all mediums that is going on in Denver. Sometimes I think that we as students get so caught up in work that we don't really have time to explore the cultural offerings of this great city. One group that is getting a lot of hype lately is the Magnet Mafia. They are a collective of artists and just crafty-types who produce original works of art on magnets and then stick them well...everywhere. Check out their website to get an idea of how far the reaches of this collaboration go! It's really cool to see how these magnets can unite people from all over the world in promoting art for the public. 

Browse through the links on the site as well. A few of my fave linked sites are the You Are Beautiful Project, 30 Pieces in 30 Days and this fun graffiti forum.

If you are feeling crafty yourself, you can find some sweet inspiration and how-to's at Make Magazine.

Happy clicking friends!

I really enjoyed the 30 pieces in 30 days link. I was reminded in a random way of a site called "A Photo A Day" that showcases one image a day. (www.aphotoaday.org)

My friend took on that challenge to create one image a day until he graduates... his url http://www.jcedmonds.blogspot.com/
