1000 Journals Project

"...If you ask a kindergarten class how many of them are artists, they'll all raise their hands. Ask the same question of 6th graders, and maybe one third will respond. Ask high school grads, and few will admit to it. What happens to us growing up? We begin to fear criticism, and tend to keep our creativity to ourselves. Many people keep journals, of writing or sketching, but not many share them with people. (when was the last time a friend invited you to read their diary?) You will not be judged here. And you will have company. This is for you. For everyone..."

The 1000 Journals Project is a fascinating collaborative art project. I know a few people whom I think should add their names to the queue to received journals. Hilary, Holly, Velma, Olya, Jason, are you listening?
