#ygkChallenge: ArtIgnite

Welcome to Kingstonist’s weekly challenge, dare, resolution or whatever you prefer to call it. Each week we establish a new and ambitious community goal, encouraging our readers, followers, friends and families to step out of their comfort zones and do something great, and hopefully a little out of the ordinary. Consider this your official and personal invitation to join us in completing a small but meaningful achievement. By taking part in this community-wide initiative, we hope to make Kingston a slightly better place to live, work and play. And of course, we also hope that you will feel proud of your contribution and achievement.

This week’s challenge encourages you to:

Take in some culture. Tomorrow marks the beginning of ArtIgnite, a two week festival focused on the arts.  In its 5th year, the festival has grown many times over and includes a wide variety of wonderful events including art exhibits, live music, theatre, lectures and workshops.  There is something for everyone, so this week we challenge you to brave the cold and get out there and explore the wonderful things ArtIgnite has to offer.  Most events are free and run multiple times.  Check out our guide for details.

Sign up and commit to completing this week’s challenge by commenting below with an “I’m in“, “challenge accepted“, “en garde” or something along those lines. Further, help us spread the word via Twitter and Facebook by sharing the link and encouraging the participation of your friends and family. By joining together in our weekly challenge, we hope to accomplish big and positive things for our community.
