TIPS FOR PLANNING A SUPERARTIST EVENT
Here is a brief outline of things you’ll need to consider when organizing a SuperArtist event. Your event should be an organic, inexpensive, creative experience that is easy-going and fun!
The Vibe
-
What type of event will it be? A more structured educational workshop, a more casual playdate style, a creative meet-up, or a collaborative project, to name a few
Location, Location, Location
-
Location will probably be the most important determinant of how many attendees you can accomadate
-
For a park location - high kid traffic is ideal, preferably with some picnic tables, close proximity to a bathroom, remember to reserve or arrive early
-
Have a back-up plan in case your first location does not work out
-
Rainy day? Have an alternate rain date or move the project indoors
-
Bring it to an after-school program, a children's hospital or a community fair
When
-
Planning a birthday party? Make it a SuperArtist-inspired party!
-
School/community fairs and after-school programs
-
School vacations, holidays, special celebrations and summer months
The Guest List
-
Decide who your event is for - kids, families or a group of your adult friends (we love the idea of parents and children working together!)
-
Tap into your networks and spread the word about your event via email, social media, mommy groups and the L&L Fund Facebook page
-
In a public location, encourage new friends passing by to participate
Choosing the Project
-
Many past SuperArtist challenges can be adapted for a SuperArtist event but wouldn’t it be more creative to come up with your own project?
-
Check our SuperArtist Ambassador Blog for even more project ideas.
-
Pick a simple project with few formal steps
-
Consider doing a large, collaborative work where all participants create together
-
Use the world around you to inspire your project - incorporate nature and the built environment
-
Consider the ages of your SuperArtists so projects are appropriate
The Set-Up
-
For a park event, bring balloons, streamers or a sign to encourage SuperArtists to participate – all are welcome
-
Materials will depend on your project but for more open-ended projects, a few of the following will do: paper, crayons, markers, water colors, paint, pipe cleaners, beads, brushes, stamps, stickers, glue, scissors, twine, clothes pins, glitter, magazines
-
Have enough materials to share
-
Keep your area clean with paper table cloths, newspaper or butcher paper
-
Be practical, organized and mindful - use recycled materials, box lids can double up as supply organizers etc
-
Have a container of baby wipes for dirty hands
-
Have a large trash bag for clean up
Photo Opportunities
-
Take photos of your set-up and kids at work
-
Share your photos with the L&L Fund via Facebook, Instagram or e-mail them to us at superartist@lululeofund.org
-
If you are going to take photos and share them with us, make sure your guests give consent. We recommend a photo release form, especially when you don’t know all of your guests
Spread the SuperArtist Word
-
Refresh yourself on what it means to be a SuperArtist and the mission of the Fund
-
Use our flyer with information about the SuperArtist program
-
Encourage others to become SuperArtist Ambassadors and host a SuperArtist event in their community
-
Have a computer or tablet available so that attendees can sign up for SuperArtist challenges, purchase L&L t-shirts or make a donation
