Today is Day 28 of the Thirty Days of Love. Today’s action is to get artsy! Share artwork for the Standing on the Side of Love mural, or send us art in whatever form moves you the most—be it poetry, music, dance, video, etc. Click here more resources and inspiration to get you started!
For our robust Unitarian Universalist Fellowship up here in the far northwest corner of the country, standing on the side of love means art!
We are a diverse congregation, and we celebrate our differences, but we all agree to stand on the side of love. We do that through a common denominator of creativity. Hearing from all the messengers throughout the Thirty Days of Love really inspired us, so we wanted to come up with a way to give back and share OUR love. We held several events to come together and make love art in our community, and then we decided to open it up to everyone involved with the Thirty Days of Love!
We’re creating a Standing on the Side of Love mural (here’s a photo of one of our works-in-progress), but it won’t be complete until we have YOUR addition. You can write, collage, paint, draw—so long as it fits on an 8×10 piece of paper (vertical/portrait orientation), is family friendly, and contains at least one heart shape, it works. ALL are invited. We want you to participate, whether you think of yourself as an artist or not.
Send your love mural submissions to love@uua.org by next Wednesday, Feb. 20 and check back next week, when we will post the finished product. And if visual art isn’t what inspires you, feel free to send us art in whatever form moves YOU the most—be it a song, poem, video, dance, or something creative we haven’t even thought up yet!
Sincerely,
Beth, Michelle, Alicia, Tuesday, Michael, Heidi, Ro, Daniel, the Magee Girls, & our Love Team
