What is Flood the Street with Art?
This is what Scott Wong - Founder - says :)
The goal is simple: On BLACK FRIDAY (Nov. 29th, 2019) I want every artist, human being, man, woman & child on our planet to drop one piece art they've created on the streets of their community for a random stranger to find, pick up, take home & love. Yes, for FREE.
Allow me to explain...
Here in the United States of America, we will celebrate Thanksgiving Day this year on Thursday, Nov. 28th, 2019. We will spend the day with family, friends & loved ones giving thanks for everything in our lives we have to be thankful for. It's really loving and special and meaningful. ♥
But then...
On the following day a.k.a. BLACK FRIDAY (the day after we've given thanks for everything we have in life), we rush out in an uncivilized manner trampling complete strangers to death while pushing, shoving & acting like a complete lunatic so we can buy a big screen TV for twenty bucks. I'm speaking tongue-in-cheek, of course, but truth be told, it's not that far removed from what actually happens. I wish I were joking. :(
That being said, I want all of us to come together as artists & human beings to do a random act of kindness on the one day of the year that I believe matters most. It's one day. One piece of art. The random acts of kindness should be plentiful & the excuses as to why you can't do this should be minimal. That means, I need EVERYONE to participate. Yes, everyone. Every human being should be doing this.
This is now my 7th year doing this event. I hold this event very near & dear to my part. If I didn't believe in such a powerful random act of kindness, I wouldn't do it. I guess-timated last year that upwards of 7,000 artists participated. Many artists dropped well more than one piece of art and hence, upwards of 18,000 - 20,000 pieces of art were dropped. I fully expect 2018 to be just as big. This is where all of you come in. :) I don't care if you paint, photograph, knit, sew, bead, weld, sculpt, woodwork, crochet or write music. I don't even care if you don't call yourself an "artist". I don't care if you're 7 years old or 77 years old. The fact remains is we're all human beings and the world can always use another act of kindness wherever your neighborhood may be. ♥
If you want to be a part of something amazing. Something positive. Something that matters. Something that will truly make a difference in someone else's life... now is your chance. Stop debating petty stuff on the Internet, Facebook and social media and do something that matters!
Join the event! LIKE it & SHARE it 'til you can't possibly share it anymore. And when you think you've shared it enough, then share the event again. Tell your friends! Tell your Mom! Tell your friend's Mom! :)

All of my jewelry creations are based on the metaphysical properties of the stones or the colors that are incorporated. Jewelry should be a window to our soul, a protector of our emotions and a companion to our spirit. All of my other creations come directly from my heart in hopes they touch yours as well. Celebrate yourself with healing jewelry, and other gift ideas made with love!
Although I do live a lifestyle that is richly enhanced with healing crystals, crystal energy, and universal energies, some do not, and that being said, I must say - Crystal meanings, metaphysical and spiritual healing lore is lore for inspiration, folklore, reference, and entertainment only.
