$100 Campaign!

Tomorrow is a big day for me...."100 Days/100 Paintings/$100 Each Campaign" officially begins.  This project is a major undertaking but I know the experience will be life changing.  I am embarking on this new journey as a full time artist and setting out on a path to prove the labels placed on artist typically don't apply.  Below is a brief summary of what I will accomplish in the days to follow:
 

Artist Rosie Lee will document the launching of “$100 DAYS:PAINTINGS:EACH” campaign.  The 100 campaign is very simple Rosie Lee will paint a new piece each day for 100 days beginning on September 7, 2011 and all paintings will be priced for $100.  This popular painter, muralist, and blogger’s ultimate goal is to challenge the status quo behind the notion of a starving artist by leaving her full time job the first day of the campaign.  Rosie feels with a simple idea an emerging artist can make money by aiding those who are willing to support a cause with limited access or resources.  The campaign will be documented through photography as well as video and placed upon various social networking sites such as YouTube and Facebook.  Lee plans on blogging to chronicle the lessons learned throughout the process.  Potential customers will be asked to send in their head shots as inspiration giving Lee a vast amount of subject matter to choose from.  Go to http://www.rosieleeart.com/ to take part in this campaign.
