Puzzle Art Installation & Collaborative Project
“There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle (of life).” - Deepak Chopra
ABOUT THE PUZZLE PROJECT
Our goal is to help grow this collaborative project with individual meaningful jigsaw stories. The Puzzle Project consists of more than 10,000 puzzle pieces from around the world. Eventually your pieces will be assembled together into a massive jigsaw puzzle art installation to be debuted in New York City.
The spirit of the Puzzle Project is to return your pieces (after ACAC displays them), so that we become part of a global effort to inspire artists to work together as they express themselves and tell their story through art.
WHAT THE PUZZLE PROJECT OFFERS
+ Multi-level creative experience
+ Express yourself in a meaningful way
+ Collaborate with others and enjoy a shared experience
+ Be a part of a global project - do something BIG
NOTES
+ Wear "art friendly clothing," - you might get dirty!
+ BYOB
The Puzzle Art Installation & Collaborative Project is Coordinated by Tim Kelly. For more information visit: artisgoodforyou.com
