+=====mission=====
+The artclash collective is a Philadelphia-based group of artists who came together in late 2004 to organize art projects and shows that aimed to be fun, inclusive, and participatory. Their longest-running project, the Fun-A-Day Community Art Show, was established in 2005 to create a welcoming forum for people to share their art and form a community, and as such has always been free, all-ages, non-juried, and non-commercial. The Artclash Collective wants to help people embrace their creativity and inspire everyone to make art!
+Fun-a-Day shows continue to happen all over the world, independently run by local organizers inspired by The Artclash Collective's example.

+__Sarah Golomb__
+Sarah Golomb studied anthropology at Temple University, but has always kept her hands wet with creativity (sewing experiments...street furniture salvaging). She experienced Fun-A-Day Philly as an audience member- loved it and was inspired. She moved to Portland and couldn't imagine this city without it, and she needed to participate this time!
+====fun-a-day providence====
+Fun-A-Day Providence is organized by a collective of talented makers, artists, and planners. From yoga instructors to technology professionals and urban farmers, the Providence Fun-A-Day organizers come from a variety of backgrounds and talents. Started in Providence by Philly native, Joanna Schwartz, the group has grown to include Catie Allard, Hong Chau, Sarah Daegling, Pnina Pressburger, Elizabeth Talbot, Natasha Brooks-Sperduti and many more.

+I want to engage people and inspire them. I want everyone to feel that they are artists, and to put artistic thought into the places they spend their lives in. www.morgancahn.com

+__Morgan M. Ward & the DC Crew__
+Starting small in 2011 as a biennial event, Fun-A-Day DC is now an annual event thanks to the help of DC Public Library's rad librarians, Rhizome DC, Qualia Coffee, and our other hosts.  Many thanks to our partners and participants and Artclash for their inspiration and support! HERE COMES FUN!
