Inktober rules:

1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want).

2) Post it and/or email it to us at artcentralslo@yahoo.com

3) Hashtag it with #inktober #inktober2021 and #artcentral

4) Repeat for the whole month of October.

Note: you can do it daily, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week. Whatever you decide, just be consistent with it. Inktober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more you’re consistent the better.

That’s it! Now go make something beautiful.

Send us what you create so we can publish an INKTOBER Virtual Gallery!
All you have to do is email us your images to artcentralslo@yahoo.com with the subject INKTOBER entry and include your name, title if you have one, if you chose a prompt/which one, and your experience with Inktober!

Be sure to also post it on any social media account you want and tag us, or just post it on your refrigerator. The point is to share your art with someone. 🙂

Many Americans take water for granted every day. Imagine a Day Without Water is a national education campaign that brings together diverse stakeholders to highlight how water is essential, invaluable, and in need of investment. This year, the day of action will take place on October 21, 2021, and will include events, resolutions, student contests, social media engagement, and more, all across the country.
