World Art Project Participation

“A living artwork of global responsibility.”

The WORLD ART PROJECT®, conceived by Stanley J. Shetka, is a monumental work of art in motion, built on individual contributions from around the globe. By subscribing, you will add your voice to this collective narrative. Simply follow these steps:

  1. Reflect on your legacy: Consider what one item, thing, or substance symbolizes your unique purpose and presence on Earth. The item you send will personify you and will be utilized in the evolution of the WORLD ART PROJECT®.
  2. To complete your subscription: Include one United States dollar (or a similar amount from your country's paper currency) with your submission. Each dollar or equivalent will represent one actual square inch of Earth's land in your name.
  3. Create your canvas: As approved by the U.S. Federal Reserve, personalize the dollar bill by writing "WORLD ART PROJECT®," your signature, and the title of your item on the border.

The WORLD ART PROJECT® exists to honor the unique life and purpose of every human being, recognizing each person as an invaluable member of Earth. Your subscription is your permanent monument celebrating your life on earth. Our mission is to celebrate every individual’s contribution and calling in life while uniting these purposes in a shared commitment: to protect and preserve the essential life elements of Water, Air, and Plants. Together, this triad serves as a living guarantee for the continuation and flourishing of all life on Earth.

At the heart of WAP is the creation of the most powerful work of art on the planet—an unprecedented collective artwork that embodies humanity’s shared legacy. Every person is invited to contribute a tangible element of personal significance—whether a material, object, or substance—that represents their presence on Earth at this moment in time. If you were to leave Earth today, what single thing would best symbolize your presence, purpose, and contribution to life?

This universal act of offering transforms art into a living covenant of responsibility and hope, ensuring that creativity and care for the planet remain inseparably bound. The WORLD ART PROJECT® is both a celebration of individuality and a unifying masterpiece that redefines art as an instrument of planetary healing.
