This concept is the Tunisian Project which utilized this methodology as a means of bringing together artists during the 1980's regime of President Ben Ali.  Having multiple artists work simultaneously (without preconceived plans) on one canvas and deemed finished only by majority rule. The concept was later brought to NYC by Broadway producer/visual artist, David Black.

 

Our reiteration of the Tunisian Project was instead deemed finished at the close of the evening and ashtonishing that the canvas still had a unified outcome!

This art piece with a cohesive feel has diverse, unique images,
created with rich , earthy colors of nature to feel grounding and inviting .

Thank you, Marta, for your thoughtful feedback and for sharing your daughter's skill sets on this project!

I was honored to get to be a part of this project. I think what surprised me most was how willing people were to collaborate with the work of strangers, and how easily they were inspired by one another's creativity.

Ditto. Svea! Thank you for your collaboration in it all.
