#OFMArtBeat - The Free State Art Collective's art goes viral

Loading player...
'LOCKDOWN // A viral art experiment' is an experiment in solidarity – of how a creative spark can also initiate a positive viral response. It started with a single quotation which was given to two artists in the Free State Art Collective, a viral process then commenced whereby one artwork inspired two more, each of which inspired a further two and so on. I speak to founder of the Free State Art Collective Karen Brusch about this initiative. If you want to purchase any of the artworks, click here: www.freestateartcollective.co.za/lockdown.html
