MAKE MY HOLIDAY 2021 – Partners Announced!

Make My Holiday Art Swap Partners Announced!!

Thank you to everyone who applied to be a part of this year’s Make My Holiday Art Swap with Light Grey Art Lab! This morning we matched artists with an old fashion, fish bowl-style drawing, and we are excited to announce the pairs! Search for your name to see who your partner is for this year, send them an email, a big hello, tell them about yourself, and provide a shipping address :D

We attached the rules again below for convenience, but truly just have fun and make something special for the holidays and New Year, ship it to your partner, then share what you made.


There are only a couple of rules!

1. Send something you made! It can be ANYTHING — prints, stickers, an original drawing, a letter, a mixtape, a zine… anything goes as long as you made it!
2. Please contact your partner to let them know where they can send your package and send a few notes about yourself! We love this part, as people often share a list of things they love, what kind of work they like making, any hobbies or interests, or share social media info so you can keep in touch!
3. Please ship your package to your partner before the new year! *It does not have to arrive by the holidays, but shortly after would be great! The National (US) last day for priority mail is the weekend of Dec 18th, and of course, international deliveries may take a while. Send your partner the tracking number so they can watch for the parcel.
4. Take a photo of your package (the one you are sending) and what you receive to share on social media! Tag @lightgreyartlab so we can see all the cool things you sent and received. You can also use #LGALMakeMyHoliday and we’d love to see it!

MAKE MY HOLIDAY PARTNERS ANNOUNCED!

MakeMyHoliday2019_flipimage_ANNOUNCED.jpg

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE THAT JOINED US FOR THIS YEAR’S MAKE MY HOLIDAY GIFT EXCHANGE!

We’re excited for you to get to know a new art-friend and spread some cheer this holiday season!

If you've never participated before, here is some info for how to proceed!

1. Reach out to your partner and introduce yourself! Feel free to tell them a bit about what you like, what kind of creative work you do, and anything else you think would be fun. It's always nice getting to know someone through their interests, things they collect, stuff that is kind of fun and personal, and anything else you think makes you, you!

2. Make sure to ask for your partner's address!

3. The art swap is open to any type of creative work! You do NOT have to make something new or custom, but we find that most people decide to do something special for their partners! As long as you made the thing you send, it's perfect.

4. Make sure to send out your gift before the end of the year so your partner can celebrate with you! If you think you'll be late, make sure to check in and tell your partner when they can expect a package. As we all know, the holidays are a time to travel and we wouldn't want anyone to miss receiving their package.
•• We know there are some international exchanges, which take a little longer to get to someone overseas! Check to see if your partner has any recommendations for receiving an international package!

5. If you'd like, tag #lgalmakemyholiday or @lightgreyartlab on any images you share online! We'd love to see what you received / made for your new friends!

** If you have any trouble reaching your swap partner, let us know and we can try to help!**
Just send us an email at hello@lightgreyartlab.com!

THAT'S IT! Happy swapping and thanks for being a part of this year's Make My Holiday!
If you have any questions, we're here to help!

Happy swapping! :)

Sincerely,
Lindsay & Jenny @ LIGHT GREY ART LAB!

Everyone is welcome, and we encourage you to join us if you’d like to share your work and meet another great artist!

How it works:
• If you’re interested in sending a fun end-of-year gift to another wonderful creative, put your NAME and EMAIL in the comments by DECEMBER 6th!
• Then, we’ll match everyone up with a partner and send you an email on DECEMBER 7th so you can follow up for information on where to send a package and get to know them!

There are only a couple rules!
1. Send something you made! It can be ANYTHING — prints, stickers, an original drawing, a zine… anything goes as long as you made it!
2. Please contact your partner to let them know where they can send your package and send a few notes about yourself! We love this part, as people often share a list of things they love, what kind of work they like making, any hobbies or interests, or share social media info so you can keep in touch!
3. Please send your package to your partner before the new year!

As always, we’d love to see what you made for your partner :)

Put your name and email below in the comments section BY NOVEMBER 27th and we’ll send you an email with how to contact your partner!

RULES:
• There are no rules to what you can send, as long as you made it! Size, format, type of creative work is all up to you!
• Please reach out to your partner by the first week of December to introduce yourself and inquire about where to send their package!
• Please only sign up if you can participate! We don’t want to leave anyone hanging! :)

Make My Holiday 2017!

MakeMyHoliday_2017.jpg

EDIT: 11/20 --- Thanks again to everyone that entered this year's Make My Holiday Art Swap!
We'll be announcing partners via email shortly! Please check your inbox for more info / your swap partner! Thanks again!

Join us again for our annual Make My Holiday art exchange! 

Every year we gather friends new and old and pair them up to create new pieces of art for each other, all in the holiday spirit! Signing up is easy, just drop your name and email below, and we'll pair you up with another artist from around the world! 

The deadline for signing up is November 20th, and we'll announce your partner on the 22nd. 

Anyone can join, and anything can be made! You're welcome to make your new friend a zine, original drawing, hand-crafted object, or a brand new print, whatever seems fun and personal! 

The only rules are that 1.) You MUST make something for your partner (it's no fun if only one person is on board!) and 2.) You need to organize with your partner in order to get your item to them before the new year! 

When you receive your gift, we'd love to see pictures (and I'm sure your partner would as well)! Feel free to send all photos to calvin@lightgreyartlab.com! 

Sign up in the comments, using this format:

Make My Holiday pairs announced!

Thanks to everyone that signed up for our Make My Holiday art swap!
Tis the season to be thinking of others -- and we're happy to facilitate our third annual art swap with you guys!
If you signed up -- Go check your email for a note from me with a list of partners for this year's art-gift exchange!

And here we go!!

Here's a quick reminder on what's next!
Now that you've got the name (and email) of your partner, send a quick email to say hello within the next week,
introduce yourself, and maybe even ask a couple questions so you can get to know them! One thing we love about Make My Holiday art swap is that you might just meet someone from a different background, a different kind of art, and our world becomes a little smaller and more connected! We hope you guys have a blast sending fun things to each other!! Think of it as a way to swap, sure, but also a way to get to know another really awesome person a little better!

One quick note! Keep an eye out and peek in your spam filter every now and again in case someone is trying to contact you! Since we have people joining us from lots of different places around the world, it'll be especially important to get their info as soon as you can so you'll be able to send out your present by DECEMBER 24th!

THEN!
Once you receive a gift from your partner we'd love to see what you got! We'll be featuring gifts on the blog from all recipients that care to send them on in! Just send us an email at hello@lightgreyartlab.com with a photo of you with your gift and the name of the awesome artist that sent you a package and we'll give them a shout out!

Thanks again and take a peek and check your in-boxes for a note from us!
Happy swapping!
:)

Make my Holiday : A Good Old Fashioned Art Swap!

MakeMyHoliday
Light Grey is coordinating a good old fashioned art swap for the holidays!

UPDATE! 11/16/12-- Thanks to everyone that submitted to be part of the swap! We're going to be announcing your pairs in a moment! The submissions are now closed! Watch for the list momentarily!

EDIT: YES! THIS IS DEFINITELY OPEN TO ALL INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS

Do you want to give and receive something really super-special in the mail for the holidays? Would you like to make a great art friend in the process?

Leave a comment with your name and email below before Thursday November 15th and we'll pair you up another awesome creative person for (what we hope) will be a very memorable gift exchange!


Here's how it'll work:
Once everyone's names are added below, Jenny and I will pair people at random and publish a new list on Friday November 16th that has everyone accounted for. Then, all you have to do is find your person on the list, request their postal-mail address, and make something to send them via postal mail by Friday, December 7th!

Easy! And fun!

There are only a couple rules to participate.

1. PLEASE ONLY SIGN UP IF YOU CAN PROMISE TO FOLLOW THROUGH. (I can't stress this enough!)

2. The thing you send has to be made by you. It doesn't matter when you made it, how you made it, why you made it, or where you made it. Size doesn't matter. Shape doesn't matter. As long as you did it, that's perfect!

3. Once you're paired, it'll be up to you to request your partner's postal address.

4. Please be sure to send your packages out by Friday December 7th so everyone receives their packages before the holidays are over!

5. (Optional, but we would love you forever) Once you receive your package, please send us a photo of you with what you got from your swap-friend! We'd love to hear form you and we'd love to post a public thank you / show and tell from everyone involved over the weeks people receive things! We'll post a batch every week as long as we are getting photos!


*** Seriously, everyone. It has been so amazing getting to know you guys over the last eight months (whether that was through a show, class, online or otherwise). It's been great seeing everyone talk with each other and get to know one another by collaborating. Here's to some local-to-long distance hugs. From us to you. Help us make this art swap a big, awesome, happy success. :) Here's to the holidays and a happy new year!

xoxo
Lindsay
