ON-GOING PROJECT Install a Kind Rainwork with us! - Mini Acts for the Greater Good is experimenting an artistic project inspired by Rainworks, Seattle, US. Rainworks are 'positive messages and art that appear when it rains'. They remain transparent on dry and sunny days. The aim of our project is to install rain-activated art inside and near schools in Hong Kong to spread words of empathy, compassion and positivity. We would love for Hong Kong schools to participate in this iniative and install Kind Rainworks in their school playgrounds. We hope to offer an opportunity for students to use creative arts to communicate the message of kindness on campus. Mini Acts for the Greater Good will provide material and technical supports for participating schools. Please contact us at info@miniactsgreatergood.org for more information. *Once dry, rainworks are completely non-toxic, environmentally safe, and biodegradable. |
