Art boxes (similar to little libraries)

Project details match catalog

About

Locked public art exchange boxes installed in urban neighborhoods. People submit their own artwork through Instagram or our website to unlock access, then swap their piece for whatever's inside the box.

Impact

Turns sidewalks into rotating galleries and makes anyone an artist worth collecting. It pulls art out of institutions and puts it where people actually live, building creative connection block by block.

Progress

I have a live website and active Instagram already built for the project, and friends in the community who've offered their homes as the first installation sites. Ready to build and place the first boxes.

Team

I'm a practicing artist who's already embedded in my neighborhood. I know the community, I've built the digital infrastructure, and I have host locations lined up to launch.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
