Madonna as art critic? Twitter makes it so

The Material Girl is taking to Twitter to give users input on their own (artistic) material.

On Tuesday, Twitter users will be able to tweet artistic work like poetry, images, and 6-second Vine videos to Madonna using the hashtag #artforfreedom, and the recording artist will be online to provide feedback on users’ work. Madonna is calling it a “live art curation,” and it will start at 1:30 p.m. PT.

The event is part of a partnership Madonna just launched with the hashtag’s namesake, Art For Freedom, an initiative that encourages artwork on the topic of social justice.

Last week, the singer introduced a grant program in which she’ll pick one artist a month over the next year, and donate $10,000 to the nonprofit or project of his or her choice.
