The idea behind this challenge is to visit your local art museum (or gallery....) and find a piece of art that inspires you. Any piece! A sculpture, a piece of glass, an oil painting, anything! Classic, baroque, modern, contemporary - your choice! You game?
There are a few simple rules and prizes! Did we mention there are prizes??! Check our blog and Facebook page for details and share with your guilds and all your quilty friends.
Our first random drawing for prizes will be July 1st - visit our blog and check out the Art Spark Challenge Sponsors.
