travel | 6 Degrees of Creativity

The 6 Degrees of Creativity Random Acts of Art Adventure continues! Here’s some of its creative journeys from Kerry and Bonnie in Connecticut:

Kerry’s stash of creative goodness sent by Michelle in Springfield, Massachusetts

“The pack has finally arrived in Newtown, Connecticut! I just finished opening and exploring all of the creative material within it…..so fun!… The messages, inspiration, creativity and art pieces are wonderful. What a true treasure we are building.” ~Bonnie

Another sneak peek into the Passport Book that travels inside the pouch to each destination. Bonnie’s contribution to the book: “Life is the greatest adventure of all! Here’s to all the creative people who make it beautiful! Love from Newtown, CT….”

The pouch will be back on the road by the end of this week, with travels to Prospect, Nova Scotia Canada next. Here’s to safe travels as our pouch crosses the border to its first country outside of the US!

To date, the pouch has reached 15 destinations in 7 different US states (Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut) and will now enjoy some creative visits on its tour in Canada to Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Edmonton.

Thanks again to everyone involved in this adventure and to Kerry & Bonnie for the photos of the pouch’s recent whereabouts and contents! I think it’s very cool that this simple pouch made of canvas continues to deliver lots of art, delight, and connection among us all!

About the project: A 8 x 6 inch canvas pouch filled with various artsy stuff, is mailed amound participants to make some creative goodness with…then the created art is given away in a random act of art to someone else! The pouch gets filled back up with more creative stuff & then mailed again to the next participant to continue the creative cycle! This project will have 60 stops over the next 17 months (more or less!) to destinations in the US, Canada, Italy, the UK, India, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia.

The Random Acts of Art Pouch continues on its travels, spreading lots of creative goodness to each of these destinations in October:

Lynette in Depew, New York

Liz in Boston, Massachusetts

A sneak peek into the Project’s Passport Book that is also traveling with the pouch. Thank you to Liz for sharing this page she added!

“I created this piece as a gift of gratitude for someone special. It took on many faces through the process and was often stuck within the boundaries of my hope for the piece. Creating this piece reminded me that I work best without an agenda, goal, hope or expectation for the product. Once I surrendered to the process, materials and the way I was feeling I became free and was able to create something more authentic.” ~ Liz

Barbara in Ludlow, Massachusetts

“The random acts of kindness pouch arrived late yesterday afternoon, and I was very happy to receive it! I emptied it and looked at all that it held, and decided to embroider one of the little sock monkey squares…I made a little pouch out of it… and will leave it on a shelf at the grocery store when I go shopping tomorrow morning with a little note inside of it.” ~Barbara

Over the last four months our pouch has safely reached 12 destinations! Hooray! Many thanks to Lynette, Liz, and Barbara for sharing their photos, art, and reflections as this pouch and acts of art continue to travel among us. After a couple more stops on the east coast to Michelle and Bonnie, the pouch will be leaving the country to spend some creative time Canada. Stay connected for more updates!
