Fun-A-Day Dundee has a simple concept that produces inspiring results. Participants choose a project and produce one piece of artwork every day for the entire month of January. The resulting pieces create a narrative outlining each person’s journey through the first month of the year. Projects vary from lighthearted to serious, high-brow to low-brow.

Dundee has been participating in the Fun-A-Day project since 2011. The premise is simple: pick a project (take a photograph, make the bed, draw a picture, bake a cake, etc) and do it every day in January, then show your work the following month in a big group exhibition.

Fun-A-Day seeks to remove the barriers to creativity by offering opportunities and invitations for participation. The project seeks to create a welcoming forum for people to share what they do, to strengthen existing communities of artists and non-artists. Fun-a-Day is an open invitation to foster a daily creative practice.

If you’d like to take part in the upcoming FAD, just email Sam Sherriff and be sure to follow them on all the social media things! For some inspiration, you can read their blog from previous exhibitions or watch Sam talking about the vision behind FAD in our most recent Split Screen…
