#318Rocks!: The #RedRocks! Painted Rock Project
#318Rocks!: the #RedRocks! project is a grassroots project started by local Artists & fellow Mom's Mimi Rankin Webb, Heather Blue Steele and Debbie Lynn Hollis and is designed to bring our community together through a creative arts activity.
It was established on the premise to promote POSITIVITY throughout the Shreveport/Bossier & surrounding areas.
Our one and only rule is to be Respectful. We know that is broad and open for interpretation. If you are unsure - just ask yourself these 3 questions - Does my rock or my words Cultivate Kindness in others? Am I Planting Joy?? Would this make ME smile???
We encourage everyone to go out and plant joy because we have become ArtRock Farmers!
Here you will discover creations, hints, and finds from other members. It's amazing watching our community come together to do great things and share happiness across the area!!! We believe and you're all showing that truly #318Rocks! with our #REDROCKS! communitywide arts project and initiative.
The idea is simple enough: paint rocks (with positive messages, colorful characters, or anything you'd like, and tag them with #318Rocks! or #RedRocks!) and "plant" them throughout the community, like a city-wide Easter egg hunt.
We encourage everyone to plan #318Rocks!#REDROCKS! events. Watch for our events section to include official gatherings all around our area SOON!
Creating art and encouraging creativity + activity
creactivity?!) by painting rocks to hide around the Shreveport/Bossier & Surrounding area (the WHOLE area!!) or wherever you travel! YES we've even run across them while on vacation, they really ARE nationwide (which is why it's best to use your area-code as people try & collect them from each!)
Use these to brighten someone's day, send a needed message, or just to spread joy. The goal is to encourage art, creativity (I'm using it!) and community...all of the things the #318Rocks! #RedRocks! Project is all about! Join us and have some fun!
If you find an #ArtRock, take a picture and share it with us here. You may either keep it or re-hide the rock!
If you want your rock found and posted back here, our suggestions of what to write on the back are.......
