ART-ACT -- EXHIBIT WITHOUT WALLS
A DIVERSITY ORGANIZING TOOL



Use us to promote your rally or political event on your campus. E-amil us 
about a sample package for your group. It consists of 7 original 8.5" X 11" 
layouts of the art fliers and your announcement on a layout page that you 
can use to make two sided copies for cutting and distribution at our cost 
to you - $10. For your convienience and $5 each set, we will do the copying, 
cutting, and collating to provide ready to distribute "Exhibit Without Walls" 
sets (28 images/set) with your copy on the back of each.

We will link to all participating groups with a web site. We get between 
20,000 - 26,000 hits a week (www.art-teez.org/ara_art2.htm) and growing.

Good Luck. 


INSTRUCTIONS

ART-ACT EXHIBIT WITHOUT WALLS

To "present" an ART-ACT EXHIBIT WITHOUT WALLS one or more persons should stand at 
busy intersections on campus and pass out the artworks (mini-fliers) to everyone 
who passes and accepts them. I often repeat the phrase "Free Art" or "Art exhibit 
without walls" or "Everyone is different." The art and the fliers small size break 
down the usual resistance to handouts and makes it more fun for volunteers. 
When someone stops to ask what it is about - they may explain it is an art 
exhibit with a pro-diversity theme with an announcement of your event on the 
back. Stress these artists support diversity and explain your own event or agenda.

Or a different image can by placed on every table at your student union 
thus showing all the images in the ART-ACT Exhibit Without Walls making 
the morning coffee an informal exhibit with your message onthe back. 
What other ways can you imagine to use this work to create a discussion. 
Students will be seen walking from table to table to see all the different 
images. Your conference will capture imaginations on campus. You may come 
up with other ways to post and pass out these images to create interest 
in your activities. 


UNLIMITED NOT-FOR-PROFIT USE GRANTED
The original copies of the art exhibit fliers are included so you may copy them 
and cut them in quarters for distribution. Copy the fronts then copy your 
message on the back. You will need to change the light/dark setting of the 
copier to get the best image possible. Cut them carefully, 3-5 sheets at a 
time, on a manual paper cutter. Sort them into complete exhibits (1 of each of 
the 24 designs) and pass them out. We only ask that you use the original images 
so our non-profit's web site and the artists in this exhibit get exposure in this 
exchange. This is a win-win idea!

You may change the message on the back to speak about a rally or any other 
event you wish to promote. You can edit out images you deem inappropriate 
to your cause although I suggest leaving the exhibit intact for the reason 
of achieving a greater discussion. 

You can give exhibits to high school representatives to do an ART-ACT Exhibit 
Without Walls at their high schools to promote your up-coming organizing events.


Organize the Artists you Meet!

ART-ACT is on-going. We encourage you to encourage artists to enter by visiting 
the webpage mentioned on the fliers. If sponsor an artist's work - that is 
encourage, scan and e-mail us their art and bio - we will include on their 
ART-ACT page a link to your website.
 
This is a great opportunity to promote your site and activities by urging 
artists to submit appropriate art to our contest. Good luck.

We ask for a donation of $10 for mailing costs. For our basic package, a 
check in the mail with a request on your organization's letterhead is all 
that is needed. 

For ready to distribute "Exhibit Without Walls" sets we need payment in 
advance of filling the order. Please send payment with a request on your 
organization's letterhead one month ahead of your desired receipt date to 
allow our volunteers time to serve you well.
