#treatamericaproject, January + February, 2019
In the 2018 calendar year, our #treatamericaproject set out with a shared goal of literally treating America. We selected one applicant per state to takeover our "treat america project" instagram handle for an entire week, during 2018. The takeover project was in the alphabetical order of the states.
Each user posted a daily image on treat gallery's "@treatamericaproject" handle, which resulted in multiple exhibitions in 2019. During the exhibition, sales of each photograph will benefit the state affiliated non-profit or charity selected by the user.
Each image will be on sale, in a limited edition of 5, for $60 each, with the split of:
$25 to artist, $25 to charity selected by the artist, $10 to treat gallery.
The #treatamericaproject was juried by Jon Feinstein of Humble Arts Foundation, and Jamie Martinez of ArteFuse and The Border. Two exhibitions and one art fair are currently scheduled:
January 9th - January 13th
