Send us anything quirky and unique that relates to strangers in any way.
In our homes and public spaces, on our streets, buildings, and bodies; sometimes carefully planned and presented, sometimes spontaneously expressed— we live with art.

We want to give all people who make their way to Fathom a reason to engage their minds and their emotions.
