Walls of postcard size art from all over the globe sent to Moss, Norway!

This art event opened December 2, 2010 and will be open until February 2, 2011. This wonderful art was donated by international artists to help raise money for childrens' books in the library. Opening night 45 cards sold and raised 9000 NOK ($1479.00) for new books the first day! I understand that the people present were all exited and many took down names of artists and did research on the computers at the library.

Moss Library location of #twitterartexhibit

Moss Library, Norway

This is the location of the first International Twitter Art Exhibit held in Moss Norway. It is the brain child of @DavidSandumArt ~ David Sandum, painter. See my post of November 11, 2010 for more information about the art exhibit.

David writes on his blog, "As so many of you are involved in #twitterartexhibit, I figured I'd better take some pics after today's meeting with the library director. Moss is a small town with about 30.000 people, so the library is not exactly humongus. But it has three floors and is more than suffiecient for the populus. The library (bibliotek in Norwegian) is located in a part of town called Møllerbyen that used to be part of the towns industry (years ago). The wall will will be able to show 240 cards, and so far we've received art from 173 artists (4 more days to go until deadline ends Nov 27th). The library is located next to the city's movie theater (kino). You can read more about Moss, Norway here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moss,_Norway

The statue/sculpture out in front (of the boy reading), is made by American sculptor in Moss (from NY state), Bruce Naigles - who is well known here and a close friend of mine (we used to have studios next to each other for three years). I think it is the most wonderful sculpture. Bruce is not on Twitter but you can find him on Facebook http://on.fb.me/evexNA and his website: http://www.naiglesart.com/"

International Twitter Art Exhibit

Spirit Long Postcard

by @CaseyStudio

This is my contribution to the Twitter Art Exhibit in Moss, Norway

The first ever International Twitter Art Exhibit postcard size event will be held in Moss, Norway on December 1, 2010 and will be on display for 2 months. This exhibit is the 'brain child' of fellow Twitter artist and friend @DavidSandumArt. The postcard art exhibit will benefit the Moss Children's Library.  A wall of cards will be displayed for people to enjoy. Each card will be labeled with the artist's Name, City, Country,  @TwitterName, and Title of Work. The cards will be sold for $34 (200 NOK) and all the sales will go to the children's library to buy books. I am honored to be part of this wonderful art event. Can you imagine 140 hand painted cards from artists all over the world covering  a huge wall? How splendid for the eye to see!

More details and a complete list of artists can be found HERE

11-13-2010 update for #twitterartexhibit: 

Great news! Punkt Ø -Momentum (Norwegian goverment art agency), has now agreed to be a partner in project and custom-construct the large white wall for the cards, which will be located at the library entrance. This will take two workers a full days work!
