Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

The Aldas Project is a phil­an­thropic daily art project by Kristy Modarelli. Here are the details:

I am a mixed media artist, gen­er­ally work­ing in sculp­ture and instal­la­tion art, who is ven­tur­ing out of my com­fort zone for this spe­cial project. The Aldas Project: 366 Drawings for Good, is a year-long project, begin­ning January 1, 2012. “Aldas” (pro­nounced ull-dosh), is the Hungarian word for “bless­ing”. The idea for this project is two-fold — a per­sonal chal­lenge to cre­ate an orig­i­nal draw­ing every day, for a year, and to raise money for three of my favorite non-profit orga­ni­za­tions: 826 National, The Schoerke Foundation, and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Each draw­ing, made of archival mate­ri­als, will be sold for $100, with $25 going to the buyer’s choice of the three char­i­ties. There are no addi­tional fees of any kind, includ­ing shipping.
