  1. Weavers of the Gandhi Ashram.
5 Year Plan Jhola Project is an ongoing effort to commission handmade bags, called jholas, from a collective of artisans in northern India. Brought to the collective by a woman from West Bengal, this painting just might be the next jhola design. We’d sport that tiger any day.

  2. Menagerie in motion.

    Progress!

    According to her most recent project update, artist Jane Kim is already hard at work on her Migrating Murals — large-scale paintings of wild animals that she’s installing along their various migratory routes.

    Take a look and see if any thundering herds are coming to a wall near you.

  3. Laura Greengold wants to paint your dreams. Or your memories, or your secrets, or whatever else most inspires you! It’s all part of her year long painting project, For You and Yours, for which she will take the words of backers and transform them into original, highly personal works of art. What kind of painting do you think she would make out of the phrase: “Project of the Day”?
