Last year was my first year with Papergirl Vancouver. In addition to my occasional blog posts I was also a part of our valuable Treasure Trove team. Treasure Trove is Papergirl’s team of behind-the-scenes Ninjas who have the pleasure of being the first people to open up our myriad of submissions from all over the world.
I was floored by the shear amount of submissions we received and how the excitement of opening up packages of pure talent grew as the weeks went by. We had submissions come in from here in Vancouver and from around the Lower Mainland but I was also thrilled to see submission from places like London, France and even Brazil. The fact that an art movement like Papergirl was able to bring together artists from all over the world was a wonderful revelation.
I believe that is the power of Papergirl Vancouver, the fact that through the partnership of altruism and art we are able to make great connection both around the world through submissions and then in our own city when the artwork is gifted out into the city. And thus it was because of my role in Treasure Trove that I was able to fully see the wheels of Papergirl turning as talent came streaming in through the mailbox for the sole purpose of altruism and the gift of art.
Speaking of the power of submissions, did you know that Papergirl Vancouver is already accepting submissions? Submit your artwork and show off your talent through Papergirl Vancouver 2015 and help spread the wonders of altruism through art.
