Urban Sketchers
I got to know this community through this article [in portuguese] which is probably the bestl written piece of text that I've read in a newspaper in a long time.

Poetry Brothel
Did you guys know this concept that it's coming up now? It's still a bit underground but there is one in Barcelona, other in New York and I don't know if it exists in more places. The idea is that you go to this bar and poets read you their poetry in private. It's really like a brothel but with poetry instead of sex. It's a very cool idea. The things I find out in the Ryanair magazine - and it doesn't have a wikipedia page! Here's a link to the article.
Twitter Haikus
It's fun. Although some (most?) people don't really follow the rules of using symbols of the season or similar references and they just write a few words about whatever they want and call it Haiku. If I were Japanese I would be mad at this. As I'm not, I just enjoy reading these snips.
National Poetry Day
Only in the UK but I'm adopting it anyway. Here are some TED Talks about poetry.
Anna Maltkz's Naked Suits
So funny that they censor the suits :-) I'm guessing that was the irony she was going after in doing this!
The Virtual Paintout
The artist Bill Guffey has a Virtual Paintout project where each month people gather in one area of the world, virtually, to paint or draw a scene and composition, within a predetermined area. This month the selected place is Lisbon. This is a cool way of artists to organize and make their work known to the public. It works very well and here are the results from Florence, Paris and Seattle.
