Looking for Artists

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Where, oh where, are the artists out there? The world needs great art. Our friends over at Zer01 in San Jose, Calif., are looking for a variety of 5-minute shorts that were shot using a cell phone or other mobile devices. The theme for their biennial this fall, "Build Your Own World," focuses on innovation that can change the world. The selected shorts will receive a cash prize and will be screened at the 2010 01SJ Biennial. Enter your video here by May 15.

The Utah Transit Authority also has a call for artists to work on the airport TRAX extension in Salt Lake City. The works will be displayed at each stop along the route, which will run along North Temple. The art will be one of the first impressions visitors get of Utah, so the stakes are high! Applications for this project are due March 8, 2010.

Finally, The Leo just closed its submission period for the art installation in the main lobby of the building — three finalists will be announced by the end of March, with a winner selected by mid-June. This piece will illustrate The Leonardo's blend of science, art and technology. I can't wait to see the chosen piece inside the building when we open April 15, 2011, and I'm sure we will give all of you blog readers a sneak peak before then!
