10,000 People Project  

10,000 people interpret one word

In the spirit of social experiments, we decided to create "The 10,000 Project". It's quite simple, really. You sign up, we send you a sheet of paper with a word on it, and then you create a visual representation of the word. The catch is that 10,000 other people are doing the same as you. How many different ways will tens of thousands of people interpret the same word?

When we reach 10,000, we will host an exhibition at our gallery in Atlanta showing off what everyone came up with. We will be putting a book together with up to 1,000 of the best submissions. We will be selling it through Lulu.com and will have it available for purchase by December 11th.

Extended deadline: October 1st, 2009

We must receive your artwork by October 1st, 2009.

Send your submission to:
Art House Gallery
C/o 10,000 Project
309 Peters St

How it works

  • Sign up!
  • Receive your project packet in the mail with instructions and your secret word (Shh! Don't tell anyone!)
  • Visualize the word and send it back to us.
  • Tell your friends about the project!

  • Getting your work back after the exhibition

    We have realized that people want an option to receive their work back after the exhibition and realized the need to accommodate that. If you want your work back, you MUST send a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) with your project submission. If you have already sent in your work, feel free to send us a SASE in a separate envelope. Please make sure we know what it's for you by including your name and that its for the 10,000 project.
