The Northern NJ Community Foundation’s ArtsBergen initiative is launching a broad social media campaign called “The Daily Arts Dose”. The campaign will last two weeks, and involves ArtsBergen sharing one artist’s work per day, as the “daily dose”.
The arts have the capacity to uplift and inspire hope and joy. During this time of social distancing, the Foundation wants to engage local artists to help alleviate some of the disconnection and isolation community members may be experiencing and inject a “healthy dose” of creativity into their lives.
This is an opportunity for artists of all disciplines to share a sample of their work to the broader community on social media. Each artist’s work will be posted on the NNJCF ArtsBergen’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts for 3 days. The artist with the post that receives the highest number of likes during that time will be awarded a cash prize.
All visual art works; theater, music, or dance performances; comedy skits; mini-instructional/how-to classes; film/video clips, and others are welcome. Thinking out of the box is encouraged!
