LocoMotoArt artists, Laura Lee Coles & Rob Scharein are excited to introduce their community engaged art project Moments of Happiness (2015-2016). Motivated with the intent to offset the negative feelings people receive from the onslaught of news reports of global violence, hardship and tragedy, the artists will ask members of the Vancouver community to think of what makes them happy and place their moments of happiness in a database. Starting in October, the artists will assemble all the contributions and create a final artwork that will be displayed at the participating community centre on March 20, 2016 IN CELEBRATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HAPPINESS. Participant’s can contribute in one or all three ways listed below: 1. Email the artists a photo from their cell phone which reminds them of a moment of happiness ([email protected]) 2. Write down a single word that represents happiness to them 3. Write down a short sentence that describes a memory of a happy time.
