6x6
Started in 2008, the idea was to have 2,008 pieces of art all 6 inches squared. Each piece was for sale for $20 and the proceeds went to benefit the
Rochester Contemporary Art Center. Last year over 5,000 people attended the event to view 3,500 original pieces of art!
Due to wide acclaim from the media and artists around the world, 6x6 is back for it's second year and final year. This year's goal was only 2,009 pieces of art, but lo and behold, over 3,000 pieces from 1,200 artists around the world have been received! What makes 6x6 so exciting to be a part of and to experience, is that the pieces are submitted anonymously. It leaves people to purchase art based on what they like as opposed to who created it.
Stuart Lowe, a correspondent for the Democrat & Chronicle says "…with a good eye, you could nab a masterpiece." An online preview of all work, including the pieces I donated, is available online at http://www.roco6x6.org/
Is your eye good enough to nab one of mine?
The show opened June 6th and runs to the 12th of July at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center 137 East Avenue, Rochester, New York.

I did not have a chance to photograph all my pieces before the show went up, but here are the 4 I got finished.
