De-Mystifying the Preciousness of Art

The Artapult is a mechanical device designed and fabricated by Cameron J. Smith in the year 2032 and brought back through a time portal using the Way Back Machine.

Actually, the Artapult was conceived by Cameron in the Spring of 1985.  He announced the idea as a part of his M.A. show in September of  '85.  It was constucted over the next two years by Cam at his studio in Fallbrook, Ca..

Thanksgiving week in 1987 brought the first public display of the Artapult.  After many travels Cameron settled in Southern Illinois and in 1994 the first Artapult Day was celebrated.  Artists from all around brought pieces of their work and a great time was had by all.

The Artapult's purpose is to help demystify the preciousness of Art.  By allowing artists to gather and fling pieces of their art towards a target up to 100 ft. away, Cameron hopes change the perception of art and its value in the community.
