We Have Our 52 Articipants & the Auctions are Closed!
Thanks to all who have joined us.
I am an artist in the US looking for people all over the world to join in this project. Please pass it on to everyone!
March 26th, 2006 marked the launch of
Touch: An International Esprit de Corps: Be Art.
Touch: An International Esprit de Corps: Be Art.
Touch is about making connections, making art, and gift giving.
Touch is a 1 year International internet driven collaboration that will result in an exhibit of 52 artworks.

1. Each week, for 1 year, I will auction 1 certificate of Articipation, opening bid 36 cents. This certificate will be mailed to you along with a personal gift from my home. If you choose to tell me a little about yourself it will undoubtedly influence my choice. All shipping is free.
2. I ask that, upon receiving that item, you photograph yourself with it and send me a copy/copies. Feel free to be creative with what you wear, where you are, lighting etc.
3. Inspired by our connection and your visual input, I will create a 16 X 20" work of art that will be exhibited in 2007. I have also created a forum for you to interact with myself and others involved in Touch, and to track the progress - make more connections!
4. Since Touch is about developing relationships around the world, I would like to give you the artwork as a bonus gift after the exhibit. After all, what do we do to further, patch up, or nurture our relationships?

I will cover all shipping.
Remember that every Articipant is invaluable to the project - it won't be successful without you!
Please take a moment to look at the auction and send it on to everyone you know.
