The Meal 2013

One moment. One meal. One photograph. Let's eat.

Last year over 4,000 people from around the globe sat down together to share a meal. Not only did we help to raise awareness about world hunger, but we also shared a community experience the Art House way. Join us this year on February 22nd at 12:00PM EST for the 2nd annual The Meal. Whether it's breakfast in LA or a midnight snack in Beijing, let's take a moment from our hectic lives and share it with strangers around the world.

Snap a photo of yourself and your meal tweet it @arthouse or email us at
themeal@sketchbookproject.com.
Please use #themeal when posting your photo!

Nothing makes us feel connected quite like sharing a meal together. On February 22nd at 12pm Eastern Standard Time, thousands of strangers from around the world will sit down for a bite in unison and capture a shared experience at the exact same time. Take a photograph of yourself with your meal and mail it back to us. These simultaneous snapshots – self-portraits of people and their foods – will then be tweeted and posted online for the world to share. Our aim is to inspire a feeling of community across geographic and cultural boundaries. So wherever you may be on February 22nd at 12pm, keep your camera handy and something delicious nearby – and remember that thousands of strangers, both near and far, are sharing that meal with you.

This is a free project. Sign up on this page by February 22nd to become a part of the action!
Photos must be tweeted @arthouse #themeal or emailed to themeal@thesketchbookproject.com.
All photographs must be taken on February 22nd at 12pm Eastern Standard Time. If you need to figure out what time that is where you're located, you can find out right here. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html
There are no restrictions on the composition of your photograph. Just ensure that we can see at least part of you and all of your meal/snack.
