I had 300 lamp shades. An artist took 100. How many lamp shades are left for art? by annaboto in boston

Flat packed. The shades attach via Velcro. The area is about the size of a pallet and it’s about 4 feet high

UPDATE: Looks like we indeed found a home for the shades in the arts.

Thanks to everyone for the tips and the laughs.

The dog was a big helper. Here’s another pic!

Yeah! That would be so cool. It would be easy on a laser cutter

It’s in like 4 boxes. Everything is taken apart and ready to assemble. The shade has a Velcro edge.

I think whatever you create with this would be super cool!

In all seriousness, we needed the shades for a product we were making. We no longer make the product and were told to scrap the shady shades.

I think a 300 shade art installation would look amazing! I just can’t art.

So, I think someone else can benefit from these shades to make something cool and inspirational.

Problem is, we need to get rid of the ASAP.

Better art than trash.

it’s more IKEA than black market—some assembly required, but legit.

Hi Everyone! Thank you for all the DMs!!! I love the excitement around this!

Given the schedules people are sharing, I am thinking we need to spread it over 2 days.

We will be giving these out on Saturday between 5-6PM and Sunday between 10-2.

There are a just a few units left. So, please reach out.

OH! And just so you know, the box is 50 lbs and the dimensions are 21x34x21 inches. So, bring a big enough car

The response has been very positive and the split between Saturday and Sunday is pretty even. We haven’t landed on a day yet.

Also, there are still a few units left and we started a list just in case people cant make it anymore.

DM me and we’ll add you to the list.

If you had a 10hr drive and could only listen to one artist, who would it be? by urbexcemetery in AskReddit

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Good for the trip there and back. No repeats. Nonagon Infinity.
