What can you do at the Shop -o- Rama Art Parade on Saturday 6/6/09?
The theme is "Art and Money":

Handout your autograph – you’re famous aren’t you?!
Try to buy things off of people passing by
Try to sell your art without words or by using gestures or miming
Silently shop only in your mind
Add up all the minutes you’ve spent on your art and think of what you’d like to be paid an hour. You’re rich !
Take pictures of your money then try to spend the photographs
See if merchants along the route will accept conceptual art for tangible goods
Trade/barter/steal/art from each other. Deny that you make art and then try to sell it
See art everywhere and marvel at the free price
Think about money. Think about art. Repeat
Sing a song of joyful art and then a mournful money dirge. Switch and repeat
Share your art freely then bill the audience
See if anyone will pay you to stop making art
Is art for sale? Ask everyone you see
Try to return a piece of art work you purchased using a phony receipt. See if you can get your money back
Make coupons redeemable for art
Offer sales and discounts on art to see if you can increase business
Ask everyone you meet if they would like to make art with you
Say “art” and then “money”. Say “art” and then “money”.
Create a poem about anything you want - we're not greedy
Ask the question “Is art money ? Is money art ?”
Answer the question “Is art money ? Is money art ?”
