Sketchbook Project Enourages Anyone to Create Art

I found out about this too late to participate, but I love it anyway and enjoy looking at the sketchbooks. Here is the deal from Art House Co-op in Georgia:
We send you the sketchbook, you make the art. Then Art House is taking all the sketchbooks on a 6 city tour to galleries and museums across the U.S. The goal of the exhibition is to encourage anyone to create artwork and build a collective of sketchbooks made by artists from all over the world.

The theme of the project is "everyone we know". This is just a guideline. Interpret it however you want.

The entry period is over and about 2,800 artists from around the world sent in sketchbooks by mid-February.

I love this idea because it's simple, creative and engaging to almost anyone. Even though it's too late, I'm inspired to spend the rest of the evening on the couch with my moleskin journal...
