Wisdom> Waiting for art
Something I stumbled upon today and wanted to share with y'all.
Josh Greene is a San Francisco-based waiter and artist. A common combination in Nor-Cal art circles, I've observed based on the little experience I have from there. What makes Mr. Greene special is his private, personal foundation Service-Works. Every month, he donates one night's worth of tips to fund a project of his choosing. Anyone can apply, the scope of the projects is defined in the FAQs based on Greene's interests. The projects he has funded in the past are all detailed on the site, with a little story on how that month's project money was made (seems to range from $200 to $400).
To keep smiling, it's worth going over some of Greene's other projects. I love this one, oh, and the unlicensed therapist, too. This is art in action, unpretentiously walking into your everyday life and fitting you with a new set of glasses, ones that are tinted in that strange polarized smoke that makes contrast so much stronger.
