Community Love

On Wednesday, March 24th Scottsdale Public Art and artist Jesse Fairchild will stage Community Love along the entire 25 miles of Scottsdale Road.

Scottsdale Public Art is seeking volunteers to help stage this happening.


About the Art:
This Fall, artist Jesse Fairchild recruited dozens of volunteers to create over 100 signs which feature expressions of positivity. "Paint the most positive word in your life," he instructed. The results range from love, to dance, to ice cream. Now it is time to use these optimistic expressions to create one simple act of community kindness.

We need you to help us stage this performance of hope and encouragement to the typical passerby. On an otherwise-mundane spring afternoon one hundred volunteers will be given the hand painted poster boards to display on select street corners along Scottsdale Road. Everyone will be placed in proximity to one another to create a visual sequencing that impacts an unsuspecting public audience.

WHEN:
Wednesday, MARCH 24th
3:00pm Meet at the LOVE Sculpture at Scottsdale Civic Center for instructions and to pick up your sign. You will randomly select your "message" by pulling from premade hand painted signs.
4:00pm Station yourself at designated street corner. All stations to be filled for allotted duration. To create an impact, we are filling as many Scottsdale Road corners as possible.
6:00-6:30pm With sunset comes the close of the happening. Volunteers return signs to group leaders at Scottsdale Civic Center.

WHERE:
Meet at the LOVE Sculpture at Scottsdale Civic Center: 3839 N. Drinkwater Blvd. Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Proceed to designated corner along Scottsdale Rd.

WHY:
One simple act of community kindness. A social experiment to change the commute in Scottsdale, then goes viral via social media, and reaches the world.
