Friday's happen to be one of my favorite days of the week. One reason why I love it so much is because of Free Art Detroit Friday. What is it exactly? Free Art Detroit Friday encourages people to  get out, explore the city of Detroit and snag a FREE piece of art made by local artists. It promotes creativity in the community with art in any shape, style or form. Sometimes they will feature artists from other cities who also participate in Free Art Friday. Not too long ago we had Evereman send some of his pieces! He even hosted a workshop here in Detroit! So how does Free Art Detroit Friday work? Well, the artist create ANYTHING (the possibilities are endless), they go out, hide the piece of art anywhere in Detroit or in a nearby city, snap a photo and upload it onto Free Art Detroit Friday's Facebook page. Sometimes artist upload their images via Twitter and Instagram too. Make sure to search for #FAFDET. Once the photo is up then it's all up for grabs. If you can figure out where the piece is hidden and get to it before anyone else, then its all YOURS. After you finish your victory dance, make sure to take a photo of yourself (fun photos are encouraged) and the piece you found and upload it via Facebook or Twitter and Instagram. Or even all three! It's to let others know that it has a new home. Another rule of thumb to remember is to only take ONE piece per week. The purpose of this organization to spread the love! 

These were the other places I chose to hide my art that week.

To wrap things up, Free Art Detroit Friday is open to ANYONE in the community. The more the merrier! If you want to hide pieces of your own you can! You don't have to go through anything to participate. Just make sure to print out these slips to put with your art. If you're hunting, remember only ONE piece of art per week. Gotta spread the love! Also, if you are out and about it's good to have your phone handy. That way, you can keep checking to see if anyone found anything before you get to it. There have been a few times where I was on my way to retrieve a piece, but by the time I got there it was already gone. Each week people are getting faster and faster! But don't let that discourage you! It's crazy, but it's great! So if you and friends want something to do on a Friday or you are tired of the same ole' boring lunch break, get out and hunt for art! Explore the city while you are at it! Detroit has many great places to see. If you do not end up getting a piece of art, have no fear there will always be more (:
