Fun a Day

Fun-A-Day is an art project that a group of friends begun in 2004. It started in Philadelphia as a way for the group of friends to stay creative and motivate each other to make things through the winter. 

The concept is simple: pick a project, do it every day in January, then show the work the following month in a group exhibition.

Over the past eleven years, the project has spread and collectives from around the world have participated in their own group exhibitions.

"Fun-A-Day seeks to remove the barriers to creativity by offering opportunities and invitations for participation. The project seeks to create a welcoming forum for people to share what they do, to strengthen existing communities of artists, and to kick-start new ones. Fun-a-Day is an open invitation to foster a daily creative practice."

The premise was embraced by a number of people in Dundee in 2014, and following its success, is taking place again this year.

Dominoes in Helsinki

Dominoes in Helsinki video

On Thursday 23 August, Dominoes appeared in Helsinki with more than 20,000 people in the streets, 10,000 blocks, 250 volunteers and a feeling of joy and celebration.

Starting on an island of Helsinki's archipelago, the blocks reached the beach of Meri Rastela, going through the suburbs, took the metro to go through Kallio and its famous traditional Sauna. Then made its way through a musican's flat and fell into the gigantic tunnels that exist under all of Helsinki. It continued in the streets of the centre and finished on Senat Square.
