IT’S EASY TO PLAY ALONG WITH #PPAC
- There is no weekly theme even though my post has a theme with murals, statues, fountains, scrap art, graffiti, store windows, seasonal displays, car or art shows, artistic construction, or even artistic neighborhood decor. Photograph the public art that is available to you.
- Art should be freely visible from a public street, freeway, or walkway or inside a publicly accessed building like a library. If you pay, it’s not public.
- Photographers should have free access of use for their photos – no copyrights by the artists.
- The challenge starts every Friday at 9:00 a.m. Phoenix Time and it ends on Thursday at noon.
- Write a post on your blog, publish it, and include a link back to my weekly post not my page preferably in a comment. Sometimes pingbacks are missed. See how to create pingbacks here.
- Take time to visit other PPAC participants throughout the week. I recommend visiting at least two or three other participants in the community and leaving them a comment.
- Have fun! Art is to be enjoyed!
For More Ideas about PPAC…
These early-bird participants (posted by Wednesday at noon) might give you some great ideas about something you’ve never thought about as public art or how to photograph it.

My Choices for PPAC #57 Aliens in Prescott, Arizona
PRESCOTT DOWNTOWN SERIES
Prescott’s motto is “Everybody’s Home Town.” It’s a welcoming place to live and visit with a population of around 51,000 – HUMANS. I really did not expect this. I had my camera out ready to snap any PPACs I found on the way back from eating dinner downtown with friends. As I stared in one store window I heard someone talking as he came out of the store.
“Do you know his name?”
I didn’t realize who the man was talking about or even that he was talking to me. So he repeated the question.
“No,” I answered still in a daze trying to figure out who the man was talking about. No one was near me except my husband, and I knew his name.
“His name is Hugh Mann. Get it?”
Hugh Mann seemed just as friendly as the other humans in Everybody’s Hometown, so I stopped and took a few pictures of him and his friends who were enjoying a drink on a hot evening.
The astronaut might have entered the Twilight Zone as he had lost the lower half of his body. Maybe it was out there somewhere in another window of time. 🙂
