Participate in the helium creative balloon!
helium
creative is holding an art event that is open to the community for participation called the #heliumcreative365 Challenge. The concept is to inspire people to be creative utilizing a common object: a balloon! Stop by their studio and you will be given a “helium creative balloon” and assigned a date to photograph it. You are allowed to do absolutely anything with that balloon – so long as you photograph it and submit the image to helium creative on that day. Burn it. pop it. blow it. rip it. fill it. Just be creative! helium will then print out all of the photographs submitted and display them in their studio during FAT Village Artwalk starting this March. This will be part of a 365 day series that helium has been working on!
