Vienna Arts Society Launches Kindness Community Project

The Vienna Arts Society recently announced that it is seeking submissions for a new community-wide project.

Called “The Art of Kindness,” the project aims to gather pieces that portray a kind act within the town, according to the art group’s website.

Submissions may be in the form of poems, photographs or illustrations, the website said, but they must be sent in anonymously.

Digital submissions can be emailed to organizers. Hard copy works must not exceed 8.5 by 11 inches in diameter and can be sent to Amy-Jo Hendrix at the Town of Vienna’s Parks and Recreation Department (127 Center Street S.) or dropped off at a list of pre-arranged locations.

Everyone is encouraged to participate, and organizers are working with “Vienna schools and churches to involve as many citizens as possible,” according to the event page.

The submission deadline is Sept. 30 and event organizers plan to debut the finished project at the gallery Oct. 24-25.
