Pick a project.

ANY project. What do you want to do? It can be visual art, performance, writing, collecting, or even making a mundane task more fun (Floss-A-Day has happened more than once!) Just commit to try to do it every day in January (and, ideally, document it somehow), and you’re in!

Do it every day in January.

We chose January for many reasons. It’s the coldest, darkest depths of winter - it’s after the bustle of the holidays - many of us have time off at the beginning, so we devote more to our project when it starts - and we get 31 whole days! And then we have something to look forward to in February/March - the show!

Show it off!

This part is completely optional, but we’d love to see what you made! Come to our exhibit and/or put it online and tag our accounts.

Many of us find the show to be a motivating factor in finishing our project! it can get rough towards the middle and/or end, but knowing you will get to see other people’s work and that they are excited to see yours can be the right kind of kick in the pants!

The Hudson Valley’s own Fun-A-Day project and show!

Fun-A-Day is a multimedia, all-ages, all-inclusive, non-juried art project in which anyone can participate, and everyone can have fun!

Fun-A-Day began in 2005 in Philadelphia, and recently celebrated its TWENTIETH YEAR! In 2013, the Hudson Valley joined in the fun, and we’re keeping it going in 2026! Now in a real art gallery where we can leave our art up for three whole weeks! (Rather than one-night-only events like we sometimes used to have!)

The premise is simple: pick a project, do it every day in January, then show your work the following month in a big group show. It can be anything you’d like- both artists and non-artists are encouraged to participate! Any Questions?

Hundreds of people in many locations will participate in Fun-A-Day this year, with projects from every discipline and level of complexity. Please join in the fun!
