mashUPnow  
a social art project

mashUP :  a technique of creatively combining or mixing of content collected from the public into
one original artwork.

Art by the Yard Studio works with the public in a hands on workshop to create character and simple storylines.  Those characters are then posed on a toy theater stage complete with miniature props and theatrical lighting.  Each scene is photographed and presented online.
