Friday, September 2, is Art Break Day, a day when everyone is encouraged to sit down for a few minutes and make art.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how good you feel after only a few minutes of drawing or painting. Stop by my studio that day: I’ll have lots of art supplies to use and some projects to give you inspiration. If you can’t make it to Hudson that day, do something artsy for 5 minutes. Keep it simple – grab a couple of markers and doodle, or dig out that old set of watercolors and splash some paint around.
This is my 3rd year of being a host for Art Break Day and I love it. I’ll have a tent and table set up on the sidewalk outside the studio, filled to the brim with art supplies. Stop by, sit down, and make some art. I’ll be on hand to help getting started and along the way.
This year, I again will have “Art In Your Pocket” boxes to give away. The boxes contain a pocket-sized assortment of art supplies. All you have to do is stop by and pick one up. No charge, thanks to the generosity of the Art Break Day organizers.
Art Break Day is a global event: dozens of places around the world will be bringing communities together to make art all on the same day! That’s remarkable, isn’t it?

I’m looking forward to it. See you on the 4th!
