We thought it'd be good to post a little more about you all here on the home page, one week at a time. We're not an automated process here, so this is handwritten.

Be A Part of the Art

One world wallet is an experiment in how art might be made through collaboration and online networking Read more here.

The art will be made from contributions to the network, photo uploads, blogs posts, and the stories people tell around how they spend money. We want to focus a little attention on how to spend wisely - beyond the brand, and to foster a sense that art and design are the most valuable contributions to society.

If you are an artist or designer feel free to use the material here. Just let us know - and for starters Jon has created a few free downloads. You can see a few below.
Just scroll down.

Photos

Here's a Thumbnail of Our First Free Download

This the first free downloadable art work in the project, created by artist Jon Coffelt. He made it by installing 96 virtual wallets in our gallery in Second Life.

Finding the healing effects of art in our every day life is what this social media art work is all about.
