I spent one of my last days in Paris just roaming the streets, enjoying the city. As I walked down the ancient sidewalks of Rue Saint Honore, I noticed how creative some of the store windows were. Here are some pics of the innovative Parisian visual merchandising.
What I love about art is that it can come from anyone, in any form. The community art project, PostSecret, is a perfect example of this. Since 2005, Founder Frank Warren has asked people to decorate a postcard with a secret that they’ve never revealed before and send it in. Every Sunday, ten new “art pieces” are revealed on the blog. PostSecret also has an art exhibition that’s currently traveling the country. Here’s the trailer video for the project…
