“Attend a lecture or talk about art in your area.” Fortunately, today public lectures are a trend, and you can certainly find few opportunities in your city.

Friday

“Watch a performance in an unusual place.” If there are any events near you, plan the journey exploring creative spaces around the EU. Use the Design Handbook for Cultural Centres to choose the most unusual spots, such as the art space in a Slovak train station or the music hall on a ship in Budapest.

Saturday and Sunday

For weekends you can choose actions that are easy to combine with resting after a busy week. For example, “write a poem on a piece of paper and leave it in a public place for someone else to find”. Or find a “piece of art that you made when you were a child, perhaps from your school days, and share at #70things”.
