I started the (no name) Art Group over 15 years ago. We like to consider ourselves as "artists making a difference" through creative exhibitions. Our latest project, (no name) ROCKS!, is simple. Design a rock, put some love into it, and leave it in a public space for a stranger. Any artist at any skill level or age can easily participate. Not only is this a fun project, but a fulfilling one. It teaches us the true meaning of giving and the art of letting go – particularly useful during the holiday season. We also love our mother earth, so a zero waste exhibition with nature as the canvas seems pretty perfect. Our website is on the bottom of each rock, so if found someone can easily learn our story and contact us.
YOU CAN BE A ROCK STAR TOO! We’re happy to take new art rocks anytime! We’ll add your images and you can be part of our growing gallery.

I want this one! It's brilliant. I only wish I could have found it, but I live on the other side of the country. Great idea for letting people find small unexpected joys in unexpected places. At this point in our history, we need all the joys we can find. Thank you for doing this -- and keep up the good work.
