Art Student Organizes McMaster Art Drop
March 12, 2018
Inspired by World Art Drop Day, an event created by American illustrator Jake Parker, McMaster Art student Sheetal Prasad is organizing an Art drop specifically for and by members of the McMaster campus community on Thursday March 15, 2018.
WHAT IS MCMASTER ART DROP?
- Leading up to the event, Sheetal is accepting small works of art donated by students from the Studio Arts program as well as patrons from Museum’s Sketching Thursdays. The donations are gathered at the Museum.
- On March 15, 2018, Art Drop tickets – one for each donated artwork – are placed in public areas all around campus.
- Anyone who finds a ticket, receives a work of art. They simply take their ticket to the Museum Reception desk to collect their treasure.
The world needs this right now. We need to feel a little more connection to each other and there’s nothing like the bond two random strangers can make through the act of creating and giving.
– Jake Parker
Sheetal Prasad is a 4th year McMaster University Studio Art student and volunteer at McMaster Museum of Art. She is currently taking an Applied Humanities course which allows her to job-shadow staff at the Museum and learn how educational courses are created within the museum context.
