I have been invited to participate in 100+ Journals , a collaborative art experiment sharing journals amongst strangers & friends in Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix area. This amazing project is sponsored by Scottsdale Public Art.
You can participate by adding a journal, by contributing to one (or both). There are three types of journals:
Traveling
This is a journal that is sent by mail to a list of people who sign up. You control how many people can sign up, if it’s open to everyone, or only by invitation, and if there’s a theme.
Location
A journal that stays at one public location, such as a cafe, shop, or bookstore. It should be open to everyone, but they’ll have to visit the location. These should be controlled (not left somewhere), and before placing one at a place of business, make sure to have permission from the owner.
Personal
Your own personal journal that you post to the site to share (you must scan the journal). If you just started one, or have kept them for 35 years, this is your opportunity to share them with the world.
How to Start a Journal
First, get a journal. We recommend a high quality, hard bound journal like those made by Cachet, but it’s all up to you.
Then register on this site, and create a profile. You’ll be able to start journals, or sign up for them as well.
From your profile page, you can launch and edit journals. You can also sign up for other people’s journals. It’s a quick, 3-step process that only takes a few minutes.
