1. Participation Sign-Up

A QR on neighbourhood posters links to the participation sign-up form: skills offered, availability, and interest in specific project elements. Builds the volunteer roster digitally.

2. Crowdfunding Link

A QR links to the project's crowdfunding page: total raised, funding goal, where the money goes, and backer tiers. Neighbours who cannot participate financially back the project from their phone.

3. Progress Updates

A QR on a construction or creation site links to the project blog: progress photos, artist statements, and community input. Keeps the wider community informed and invested.

4. Permanent Archive

A QR beside the finished artwork links to the project archive: original proposal, participant photos, process documentation, and the community's response. The artwork becomes a gateway to its own story.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should community art project QR links remain active after the project ends?

Yes. The archive QR beside the finished artwork should remain live indefinitely. It is part of the artwork's public identity.

Can a QR crowdfunding link on a poster comply with fundraising regulations?

If the project is a registered charity or community benefit society, yes. Unregistered fundraising has different rules. Check your jurisdiction before promoting publicly.
