Artclash Collective has organized their second annual Fun-A-Day community art project wherein participants choose a specific “art project” (sculpture, drawing, writing…walking…soup??) to repeat every day in January, and the 31 resulting pieces from each artist are displayed together at a reception on Feb. 12.
