Dear Nashville, write me letters so I can make you some sweet art?
I dreamed up this Nashville lettering-writing art project and now I need your help! Coud you write me a letter? I’ll write you back in the form of digital art you can print out and hang on that blank wall in your bathroom. The prompt is: After [number] years in Nashville, I learned _______. The above image is a quick example of how I’ll build the art. I’ll add up the years from your sentences to name the work. So it might be called “After 324 Years in Nashville” if y’all decide this work needs some love. I’ve been thinking of ways to encourage a deeper level of dialogue on the Internet. In the world of sharing for hundreds or thousands at the speed of a tweet, sometimes depth gets lost. I wanted to engage in something personal, direct and rare: like letter writing. Letter writing is the new jam like vinyl. Turn off Facebook for the night, light a candle and feel the creative freedom. When you write in a new way, you’ll learn new things about yourself. You don’t need to currently live in Nashville, as long as you’ve spent at least a year here. Just tell me something that’s true to you. Write as many of the sentence prompts as you’d like. It can be personal, dark, funny, general or about whatever you’d like. Below are all the details you need. If you have a question, post it in the comments. Please and Thank You! Please send me a stamped letter by Friday 9/30 to participate. Nate Baker Please consider re-posting this on your blog and/or sharing this on facebook/twitter/diaspora/qwikster so I have a decent stack of letters, and therefore a sweet looking piece of artwork to share back with y’all. Something like… RT @nathanTbaker: Dear Nashville, write me letters so I can make you some sweet art? http://natene.ws/letter-art I’ll license the work under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
