'All we ask of you on that day is to do an arts project, however small or big on the 17th Feb 2010 or as near to the date as possible.

Be creative about an issue that you believe promotes "caring and sharing".

Song, dance, theatre, draw, paint, write, make, poem, photogragh, lecture, walk, tour, talk, art class anyway that you feel you are creative!

It maybe an ongoing project you wish to highlight.

It is being creative that is important.

It could be a small or large gathering.

Or add an image or sound, etc to an existing website to mark this day.

If you can mark the event on your website in the build up to it that would be great too.

We are not asking for money, but your creativity and artistic skills to celebrate this day.

The aim is to create a world festival society for a day.

To illustrate how festival and celebration through art can provide answers'.

We co author evolving artworks with people of all ages and cultures, mapping and collecting urban histories and other evidence of everyday life. Encounters create a sense of place, a snapshot in time which is then retold to a wider community through exhibitions, public art, performance, publications and uniquely tailor made events".
