We want to make art history a little more fun by turning Vincent Van Gogh into an action figure!
For the last 2 years, Today Is Art Day had a mission to make art and art history more fun and attractive to a wider audience. We have built an incredible community of more than 58,000 art enthusiasts on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
The level of engagement we experience with this community is unexpected, and unprecedented.
We want to try something new, and offer our fans a new way to bring art into their daily life. With the Vincent Van Gogh action figure, we want to:
- Make art history more fun
- Develop a new kind of product for art history fans
- Pay tribute to one of the greatest painters of all time
Help us spread the love of Art (and Van Gogh) by supporting this campaign!
WHAT WILL I GET?
The action figure is made of PVC and is 5 inches high. Both ears are removable (although Van Gogh cut his left ear).
Hopefully, this figure would be the first in a series of many others featuring art history heroes. In our wildest dreams, these figures would be available in all the major museum shops across the globe!
IT COMES IN A BOX!
The figure comes in a high-quality box that presents fun facts about the artist and some of his most recognizable masterpieces. It is possible to cut out the masterpieces and make a paper easel from the box.
WHAT’S NEXT?
So far, we have created an action figure design, built a prototype, selected a production company, and identified a worldwide shipping partner. The following steps are still ahead of us:
- Mass production of the action figures
- Packaging
- Fulfillment and shipping
The last steps in this project are not cheap. This is why we are looking for the support of the community to help us make this project a reality.
