I set out to stand in Washington Square Park for 24 hours, inviting strangers to draw, write, and attach symbolic objects to my white suit. The goal? To transform individual expressions into a shared story of identity, resilience, and belonging.

But after 8 hours, the rain forced me to stop—leaving behind an unfinished yet powerful piece of wearable art.

💵 High school kids chipped in $4, $8, and $3 in cash. 📲 Two people sent $10 and $50 on Venmo. 🍽️ Every dollar ($75 total) went to City Harvest to fight hunger.

This wasn’t just about art—it was about sparking dialogue on food insecurity, economic hardship, and the power of collective expression.

ASP 02 S9 TransArtSpots is a non-profit and 100% community-driven project. We run it because we love to discover art and share it with others. The app does not contain any ads and we do not get money from this project at all. That's why we ask for your help! 

Wanna help spread the word about the App?

It would be great if you can tell your friends about ArtSpots, or if you run a website or blog, share the news and post a page. If you are active on social media, please also spread the word among your friends - art needs a space without commerce and it should be us, who count, not money and some shareholders. Thank you!

If you need pictures and stuff, here is the download to a media package, containing screens of the app, the image teaser and a short description you can freely use.

See you in ArtSpots.
