New York, NY (PRWEB) October 02, 2014 -- Arts Brookfield, the cultural arm of Brookfield Property Partners acclaimed for presenting hundreds of exciting cultural experiences for free worldwide, announces recent dramatic growth of Art Set Free, the organization's unprecedented global arts showcase that raises awareness about the importance of free public art. In the past month, Art Set Free, the user-generated campaign that will run through the end of the year, now includes artists from more than 900 international cities, 110 countries and six continents.

Recent Art Set Free highlights include:

Art Set Free was designed to engage the global arts community and spread awareness about the importance of public art. We are thrilled that artists from over 900 cities have set their art free and encourage artists throughout the world to participate

Post this

• The Art Set Free digital art collection currently includes 23,213 artworks from more than 3,000 artists worldwide.

• Participation in Art Set Free has expanded to 110 countries in 905 cities with submissions from all 50 U.S. states.

• Top locations submitting art include New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Toronto, Perth and London.

• Best of Art Set Free Edition 6, a curated selection of the most thought-provoking recent artwork submitted from international artists, is now on view at Brookfield properties in New York, Los Angeles, Houston and Toronto.

"Art Set Free was designed to engage the global arts community and spread awareness about the importance of public art. We are thrilled that artists from over 900 cities have set their art free and encourage artists throughout the world to participate,” said Debra Simon, Vice President and Artistic Director of Arts Brookfield. "We look forward to seeing more amazing art from around the world.”

Among the thousands of unique and inspiring artists from across the globe who have set their art free by sharing their work on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram with the hashtag #artsetfree are:
• Stephen Tolfrey, a motion artist, director and designer, based in Cornwall, United Kingdom. Tolfrey began his career in music, working for major record labels and international artists, but after discovering the moving image in motion and design, his work shifted to focus on creating visual stories.
• H+/The Hip-Hop Dance Conservatory, a world renowned institution for professional hip-hop dance education and academics based in New York and the only of its kind in the United States. The non-competitive group focuses on what they believe is most important: dance, culture, the people and the future.
• Dominic West, at just 14-years-old, the youngest artist to take top honors at the Forest Art and Craft Exhibition in Sydney, Australia. Since early childhood, West has been fascinated with Renaissance paintings and has won several highly prestigious awards in Sydney.
• Milly Martionou, a painter based in Athens, Greece whose work involves a series of “layers” on both literal and figurative levels, flirting with abstract impressionism. Using techniques known as “dripping” often combined with “collage” the artist communicates her own psyche with a completely personal writing and sends an intense message of optimism.
• Katy Rogers, a visual artist from Boston, Mass., whose body of work mostly consists of portraits. In addition to drawing, Rogers has written articles and photographed events for Boston newspapers and has served as a tour reporter for the band, My Chemical Romance.

Established artists who assisted in launching Art Set Free include Broadway star and Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell; Executive Artistic Director of New York Live Arts and Tony Award winner Bill T. Jones; Action Architect Elizabeth Streb; and the acclaimed vocal ensemble, The Tenors.

To participate in Art Set Free, artists are invited to capture their work in a photo, video or audio recording; and then share it on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram with the hashtag #ArtSetFree. Entries will be accepted through the end of December 2014 and are welcome from any genre, including dance/movement, music/sound, painting, sculpture, photography and street art. Arts Brookfield reviews submissions on a rolling basis and curates the best pieces for display at select Brookfield buildings around the world and on ArtsBrookfield25.com, potentially reaching an audience of millions.

Images, videos and sound recordings of artwork for Art Set Free may be submitted by individuals or organizations. Submissions should be creative, innovative and inspiring, and all entries must follow the Art Set Free Terms and Conditions available at ArtsBrookfield25.com.
