We're Turning 3 Years Old - Help Us Celebrate!

Hello, September!!! You guys… I am so excited I can barely contain myself… on 9/24 Best Day turns 3 years old, and here are 3 ways you can help us celebrate:

1. WATCH OUR SENIORS' STORIES BEAM ACROSS THE SKY!

On 9/24, recordings of our seniors’ stories will be transformed into giant light beams all night long across the city’s skyline! Best Day is the Featured Group at “Open Air”, a spectacular light show co-hosted by Association for Public Art, Philadelphia Live Arts, Philly Fringe Festival and Design Philadelphia.  www.associationforpublicart.org/open-air

2. TELL US YOUR FAVE BEST DAY MOMENTS!

Our 9/24 blog post will be a compilation of 30 special stories and moments from the project’s history (so far) – and I’d love your suggestions on what to include! Simply scroll back through 3 years of stories (on the blog sidebar) and tell me which blog posts you like, and why, at benita@bestdayofmylifesofar.org or on Our Facebook Page!

3. EXPERIENCE OUR SENIORS' STORIES IN 3D!

Best Day’s stories and photos are featured at Philadelphia Art Alliance’s exhibition “Philadelphia Qualities of Life”, in a 3D installation about grandmothers by artists Eliza Stamps and Amy LinsenMayer. The show showcases problem-solving ideas to improve life, and runs Thursday 9/6-Sunday 11/25. www.philartalliance.org

AND… STAY TUNED AS WE UNVEIL ALL SORTS OF BEST DAY GOODIES INCLUDING OUR BRAND NEW “VISION” VIDEO* AND HOMEPAGE**
