TORONTO, JULY 2012; INVITATION TO EXHIBIT     Can artists unite nations when politicians cannot? Can a single project bridge cultural divides? Can an exhibit that spans the globe result in thousands of art works freely being given away? No strings attached? It happened once; it will happen again:   Between March 9 and May 19, 2002, 99+ artists transcended geographical, political and cultural boundaries to stage 99+ exhibitions throughout the world. Afterwards, all 10,000+ art works were given away for free in the guise of coasters at bars, cafes and restaurants.  Response to "The Coaster Project, Destination: The World" exceeded all expectations.  Along with requests for workshops, additional venues, interviews, articles and talks by the artists, the Northeast Chapter of the International Art Critics Association voted the project 'The Best Show in an Alternative Space outside of New York.' To mark the 10th anniversary of its landmark Coaster Project, TransCultural Exchange is inviting the original project artists and newcomers (you) to make, contribute and take-away an art work at Toronto's 2012 Culture Works Festival, which is part of BIG on Bloor Festival.   After all, the best things in life are free.   Can't be there? You can still participate <info here.> Please feel free to post, distribute and in any other way let others know of this opportunity.   About TransCultural Exchange TransCultural Exchange is a 501c3 non-profit organization whose mission is to foster a greater understanding of world cultures through artist exchanges, large-scale global projects and educational programming, most notably a biennale Conference on International Opportunities in the Arts.
