Fleet Moves is an all-ages, all hours dance festival produced by The Movement Party that aims to put the town of Wellfleet, MA in motion! There will be daily classes, indoor and outdoor performances, art exhibitions, film screenings, and a massive closing night dance party. Don’t dance? Don’t worry — you will after you get an eyeful of the dance types that will be represented there. Tidal dance, surfing dance, erosion dance, plover dance, farm dance, pond dance, oyster dance, the list goes on and on. Personally, we want one of each, and a Project of the Day. Get movin’!

Cheese & Crack is what your elementary school lunchbox would look like if it was all grown up. Created by the Portland-based snack master William Steuernagel, customers get to mix and match their own boxes from a selection of homemade crackers, and the freshest of locally sourced cheeses and charcuterie, plus a list of optional honeys, mustards, and chocolates. Plus, there’s even scratch-and-sniff aromatic herbs attached to each adorable box for a full-circle sensory experience. We have this rule around Kickstarter HQ — if just reading about something is making us hungry, that’s a definite Project of the Day.

“Earlier this year, while exploring the dusty shelves at my favorite used bookstore hidden in the backwoods of upstate New York, I came across this book/folder on the work of the artist Degas from the 1940s or 50s. I loved everything about it but the hand lettered typography on the title was so beautiful, and I had never seen this titling face before,” begins the tale of Uchronia, a typeface being designed by Mark Ho-Kane. And although, true to our modern times, he plans to release it as a fully-formed digital font, his alphabet stays wholly true to the classic aesthetic of its source material. Beautiful! And, naturally, our Project of the Day.

How good are you at lying to your friends? If your answer is “Not at all!” then you had better get good and fast, because you’re going to want to school them at Diamond Trust of London — the new Nintendo DS title from independent game designer Jason Rohrer. It’s two-player, turn-based, simultaneous-decision strategy game about diamond traders operating in Angola in the year 2000, and whichever player can bring back the most diamonds wins. Naturally, this requires outfoxing your opponent with bribes, spies, and lots of general craftiness. Well, Jason, we see your diamond-mining-bribery-shenanigans, and we raise you a Project of the Day.

“A lone astronomer, packing a rifle alongside his telescope, is tracking a comet across a bleak and desolate wasteland littered with the ruins of an ancient civilization,” begins the synopsis for The Astronomer, the second chapter of the first graphic novel from Austin, TX-based artists Matt Rebholz. We feel the goosebumps coming on already, and it’s no wonder: Matt’s work is wild, imaginative, and utterly dark. (His first chapter follows a disembodied bounty killer in relentless pursuit of his quarry, you can view in its entirety here. But leave the lights on.) He describes the world he’s creating as a “hallucinatory, post-apocalpytic, cosmic Western” — which, in our words, sounds like Project of the Day.

The story of J03 (pronounced “Joe” — get it? Cute!) begins when he finds himself rebooted in an unknown location with no recollection of where has been, and with a very spirited, totally devoted fuzzy companion at his side. Together, the unlikely duo go in search of J03’s lost memories and, in doing so, find a bit of his future. Sound neat? We thought so! It’s the premise of graphic novel Gather, and our Project of the Day. We also love that the tale was inspired by author/illustrator Anton Peck’s childhood, which he spent kick around railroads with his grandfather and drawing cool, mechanical things. If J03’s past is anywhere near as cool as that, we’re in for a good read.

If Audrey Hepburn started a magazine, say the creators of Darling magazine, it would be this one. The mission of Darling is simple: to rediscover the art of being a woman and to be a catalyst for positive change. They want to truly lift their readers up, providing them with wisdom, wit, advice, and a little bit of good ol’ fashioned entertainment. Their first issue made it’s digital debut just six months ago, but managed to attract tens of thousands of visitors — many of whom left behind enthusiastic testaments to the magazine’s positive effect on their lives. Buoyed by the feedback, the team is now ready to bring their next issue to print. We’re ready to bring them to our Project of the Day.

The Shandaken Project is a community-supported residency program on 250 acres of land in upstate New York. They provide free room and board to anybody with a creative practice — writers, artists, curators, and more — to hang out, get to know each other, and make cool stuff. Writer’s block? Residents can also spend time in the communal vegetable garden, growing things like cabbage, kale, leeks, and potatoes. The organization is excited to expand on their project with private studios and new equipment, but attendees are certainly not the only ones who stand to benefit! Backers get curated mixtapes, invitations to a summer BBQ, and pieces of original art. And did we mention? It’s our Project of the Day.

You might already know Amanda Palmer from her stint with indie-cabaret act The Dresden Dolls, her marriage to author Neil Gaiman, or any number of her exploits as a piano-playing, ukulele-wielding, creativity-inspiring indie star. Her latest release, anticipated by eager fans for years, will be a multimedia explosion of collaborative art featuring contributors like Tao Lin, Shepard Fairey, and Robyn Hitchcock. When you’re Amanda Freakin’ Palmer, you go big or go home. Or, you go Project of the Day — which she’s doing rightthisminute.

We suspect that filmmaker Nicholas Musurca likes to mess with peoples heads. His genre-busting work has included everything from horror/musicals to web series, but The Films of Avi Krum might be his most mind-bending yet. It follows the bumbling, unfortunate Avi Krum, as his American Airlines flight is hijacked and forced down inside North Korea. To avoid execution, Avi tells his captors that he is a famous American filmmaker — and is then forced to direct propaganda films under the personal supervision of Kim Jong-il. It’s as black as comedy gets, but it’s still funny as hell. It’s also our Project of the Day.

Other Travel is a collaborative art project initiated by Hayden Dunham and Meriem Bennani, in which they’ll invite a curated selection of artists and writers to participate in the somewhat adventurous making of new, creative works. Let us explain! Each participating member will receive an invitation to a specific place in New York City, where a surprise box will be delivered to them. The art part begins when the artist chooses to produce their own, original piece in response to the contents of their package. (Watch their first delivery here.) A participatory art project full of intrigue, spontaneity, and mystery? Yes, that’s a Project of the Day all right.

Len Peralta really loves video games. We mean, really. In 2010, he started an art project called Geek A Week with the goal of taking 52 influential geeks from a range of disciplines — science, music, art, etc — and turning them into neat little trading cards. The results were wildly popular, garnering Peralta a ton of press (CNN!) and a hugely enthusiastic fan base. Now, the next incarnation of his series will narrow the scope to a specific Geek subset: video gaming! It will include some of the most interesting names in gaming right now, including Notch, Tim Schafer (heard of him), Gabe Newell, and Cliff Bleszinski. Phew, what a line-up. Backers can get their hands on a pack for a $15 pledge.

The Colonel Mustard Amateur Attic Theatre Company has a history of producing unusually-themed plays, X-Files The Musical and Jurassic Park the Musical! among them, but their latest endeavor is really going to pull out all the stops. Gods of the Prairie takes place in the 1800s, in a United States ruled by Norse gods, and centered around a young con artist with one chance to make it big in his small prairie town. One small catch? Unlike your typical theater going experience, this one invites you to be part of the show: the audience will be invited to explore downtown Lincoln, Nebraska, where they’ll discover scenes, characters, and wandering minstrels scattered about, allowing them to interact with the narrative one-on-one. Phew, sounds like quite the experience doesn’t it? Well, how does it sound as our Project of the Day? Pretty good, we think.

Future Weather is the first feature film from writer/director/producer Jenny Deller and producer Kristin Fairweather — and it’s been a long time coming. The duo began production back in 2006, piecing together their movie from nothing but “a belief in the script, entrepreneurial fervor, and a hunger to learn what it takes to make an independent film.” They must be quick learners, because the finished production is now set to premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. We think that’s pretty rad, so in the spirit of independent creative pursuits we’re making it our Project of the Day. (You should also check out more deets on the film, and see early footage on their project page.)

For the past ten years, Sara Schaefer has been working jobs that have kept her anchored behind a desk in New York City. (How many can relate?) Along the way, though, she’s banked a lot of stage time working on comedy, made a few podcasts, put up some videos, and (basically) invented a pretty successful side job out of making people chuckle. Her stand-up tour may be Iddy Biddy, but it promises big laughs — just watch her project video! Our favorite part is when she packs her Iddy Biddy suitcase. And ‘cause we love to giggle, we made her our Project of the Day.
