Jennifer Schwartz' Crusade for Collecting begins touring, pulling up Lady Blue (the 1977 VW Bus purchased through funds raised on Kickstarter), pitching an art tent, creating a spectacular scene and giving away original, signed photographs. Lady Blue is popping up outside the High Museum of Art for the annual day-after-Thanksgiving event. The pop-up show has two components — an exhibition of 12 x 18 photographs from the online project "The Ten" and a series of 6 x 9 photographs by photographers based in Atlanta. In total, more than 100 photographs are available to give away to new collectors. Images are not for sale. Instead, people are encouraged to choose a favorite photograph and write a comment about it, create a haiku or perform a live rap — anything light, fun and unusual. The most heart-felt submissions win their photograph and walk away collectors. The local photographer showcase is a curated selection of images by artists within Atlanta. These images are available for any passer-by to view and select to keep. The local photographers are also present to have conversations about their photography and make connections with people who have just become collectors of their work. Free!
