Fun-A-Day DC exists to help you embrace your creativity, make fun a part of your daily routine, and grow something beautiful in the dead of winter.  Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join at any time in January. Participation is always free, non-juried, and all ages.

Here's the idea: Pick a project or activity, do it every day(ish) in January, and (only if you want) you can show or describe your work in the Fun-A-Day Showcase in February! If you choose to participate and don't want to show your work, please join us for the Showcase! We'd love to meet you.

Your project could be creative (work on a painting all month or take photographs every day/few days.) It could be learning a new skill (creative, musical, physical etc.) Or it could be something from your personal to-do list (making time for things that bring you joy like reading, writing, exploring, stretching, etc.) Use Fun-A-Day as an excuse to explore creatively with no pressure.

Fun-A-Day was started in 2004 by the Artclash Collective in Philly with the aim to create a fun, inclusive, and participatory art community.  Self-directed & community-based, this annual event is now taking place in cities & towns around the world, organized by different art collectives and groups of friends. DC's Fun-A-Day chapter was started in 2011, and Rhizome has been our Showcase’s home since 2018. (We <3 you, Rhizome)

Stay tuned for more info on the Fun-a-Day showcase in mid-late February!
