Random Acts of Poetry & Art Day on February 20,
2015 is an international day of
inspiration. As an artistic
pay-it-forward movement, our purpose is to spread the joy of the creative
process. Wherever you are on this day,
please join us in sharing your poems and visual art for all to enjoy!
It’s up to you what you do! A few examples: leave behind free poetry
cards or quotes at coffee houses, cafés
and libraries; give away mini works of art; donate art prints and poetry books
to non-profit organizations or schools; or give away handmade scarves or
jewelry. Create, be inspired, and share
photos of your Random Acts of Poetry & Art on our Facebook event page. For more information and ideas, please visit
the RAPA Facebook page.
Who knows? You could change someone’s day in an instant
of art and poetry!

"A single act
of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and
make new trees. The greatest work that
kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves." ~Amelia
Earhart
Looking for ideas for a special gift
tag for your art or poetry giveaway? We've got you covered! Here is a sample of
what you could do. Sometimes people need to know that they have found FREE art
and poetry! This is a png image which can be saved as a pdf for print out, or
you can make your own.
Here is an example of my FREE poetry/photography postcard for RAPA Day this year:

This year's RAPA Day theme is: "Philosophy Legacy" - choose a key word
or phrase that represents the wisdom you would like to pass on to the
next generation of poets and artists! What kind of legacy would you
like to leave behind, based on your art? Create something centered
around your own words of wisdom.
Here is an example of a pair of my "word philosophy" earrings (Biku Beaded Designs), which I made to give away for RAPA Day. I plan to leave these earrings as a gift at a local coffee house, where I know a lot of writers work. I
want other poets/writers to remember to not only be artful in their own writing,
but to inspire others to create as well.
Don't forget to share your Random Acts of Poetry and Art, by posting photos on our Facebook page! Thank you for joining the journey!
