-Hi Friends,
+====== FUN-A-DAY starts January 1st, 2026!======
+The idea is simple: work on an art project every day in January, then show your work in a group art show in February! All mediums accepted, from painting to performance, sewing to singing, drawing to dancing, IF YOU CAN DO IT, THEN IT'S ART! Fun-A-Day is always FREE, NON-COMMERCIAL, NON-JURIED, and ALL-AGES. Everyone is invited to participate, no previous art making experience necessary. The only requirement is to HAVE FUN!
-The Fun-A-Day site is now a wiki, which means you can add your show, add your project, post pictures, share materials, and get in touch with each other directly. We hope this helps decentralize the project and enables you to make Fun-A-Day your own. [[http://artclash.com/index.php/start?do=register|Register an account]] and click on the editing links to the right to get started. If you want to add your own show page, check out the [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/page|wiki's documentation]] to see how. Let us know how it goes!
+Past projects include photo-a-day, sketch-a-day, song-a-day, bake-a-cake-a-day, make-the-bed-a-day, etc. Some people have worked on one painting for the whole month. Some people have worked on 3 different projects at one time, finishing only one but displaying the results of all. Some people start a project, then abandon it, then start a new one. Some people have used Fun-A-Day as a chance to learn a new skill or try a new technique, or even to finally finish that long abandoned project started years ago. There is no wrong way to do Fun-A-Day, the goal is to be creative and make sure you are HAVING FUN EVERY DAY WHILE MAKING ART!

+Fun-A-Day was started by a group of artists in West Philadelphia known as the artclash collective. Through the years Fun-A-Day has spread to other cities throughout the world! Thousands of artists have created millions of pieces of art for the Fun-A-Day project since its inception in 2005. Anyone with a creative spirit is encouraged to give it a try! HAVE FUN, MAKE ART!

-In previous years, artists across the globe chose a project (take a photograph, make the bed, draw a picture, bake a cake, sing a song, etc.) to do every day in January (or in some places, different months!) There is no wrong way to do Fun-A-Day, the goal is to be creative and HAVE FUN!
