So
covet
19
has
definitely
taken
its
toll
on
the
scene
for
local
artists.
You
know
many
of
us
normally
rely
on
public
events
to
gain
exposure
and
to
sell
our
work
and,
of
course,
this
year,
all
of
those
public
events
like
first
fridays,
the
open
studios
tour,
which
is
in
october,
the
firefly
market,
local
art
fairs.
All
of
these
things
have
been
canceled,
so
it's
left
far
fewer
avenues
for
exposure
to
show
our
work
and
to
sell
our
work.
A
My
kovid
19
work
project
consists
of
leaving
free
artwork
in
public
places
around
boulder,
so
I
start
off
by
photographing
the
artwork
and
I
put
the
image
on
social
media
with
clues
to
its
exact
location.
So
recently
I've
left
art
on
pearl
street
in
chicago
park,
around
wonderland
lake,
so
more
notable
places,
I'm
not
gonna,
be
leaving
anything
at
the
top
of
bear
peak,
I'm
not
getting
up
there.
A
So
I
leave
a
note
with
the
artwork
explaining
that
it's
both
free
and
sanitized,
and
I
ask
that
whoever
finds
it
lets
me
know
in
some
way,
whether
it
be
social
media
or
an
email,
and
they
let
me
know
that
it's
found
and
then
I
can
update
instagram
and
facebook
saying
it's
been
claimed
and
yeah,
that's
the
gist
of
it.
I
essentially
leave
free
artwork
out
for
someone
to
come
and
find,
and
hopefully
it
brightens
their
day
and
yeah.
We
could
just
all
use
a
little
more
of
that
right
now.
A
But
since
I
started
this,
I've
had
such
a
great
response
from
our
community
of
artists.
There's
other
people
that
are
in
boulder
there's
a
few
artists
in
longmont
who
are
all
now
doing
the
same
thing
and
are
also
leaving
out
free
artwork,
so
they'll
call
it
art,
drops
or
free
art,
friday
or
there's
all
kinds
of
names
for
it.
But
it's
just
been
really
cool
to
see
other
people
jumping
in
and
doing
their
own
form
of
these
art
scavenger
hunts
in
their
own
neighborhoods.
A
I've
got
some
really
cool
responses,
so
one
of
the
best
ones
was
this
kid
wrote
to
me
and
he
was
like
14
or
15,
and
he
said
my
mom
was
on
a
hike
this
morning
and
she
found
one
of
your
pieces,
but
she
doesn't
know
how
to
use
social
media.
So
she
asked,
if
I'd,
send
you
a
message
and
she's
so
excited
about
it
and
he
sent
me
a
picture
of
the
work
and
she
had.
