Hey artist!

Here’s how the World’s Dinkiest Art Exchange Beanstalk works

The beanstalk is designed to display your dinky artworks for the WHOLE WORLD to see.

There are 10 frames.

Anyone can place artworks in.

Anyone can take artworks out.

If someone loves your art, they’re free to take it, but to do that, they should replace it with their own piece of art. Ie, take one, contribute one.

Share photos of your installed artwork with the hashtag #DinkyBeanstalk @Dinkydoors

Advice

  • The sizes listed give about 1mm of room around all sides for your artwork. You can make your art smaller, but to make sure people can get them in and out easily, we don’t recommend you make your art any bigger.

  • If you want people to be able to contact you about your art, maybe write your email or website on the back of the artwork.

  • You might find that card works better than paper, but honestly, we’re not here to tell you what your art can be!

Ideas

Besides artworks created on paper and card, maybe you could use the frames to create alternative artworks. For example…

  • Write short stories

  • Make mini sculptures out of polymer clay or wire (They need to be thin to fit)

  • Pass on love letters?

  • Write messages to make someone’s day

  • Make Dinky origami?

  • Share a QR code to a song you’ve created?

  • Have a whole exhibition and take over the whole beanstalk!

  • …or whatever else you can think of! :-)
