Submission Call: Art vs. Design
From the Artists Wanted Website...
Images are power. In this dynamic era compelling design can move millions and transcendent art can inspire a generation. From cave paintings of early man to today's industrial designers, art & design has uniquely shaped the world around us, each in its own distinct way. This contest is designed to answer the age old question: What shapes our world more, art or design?
To find the answer, we need YOU to enter the dialogue.
Mark Mothersbaugh, acclaimed artist and lead singer of art-rock band DEVO leads a panel of judges including Jarrett Gregory (curator at NYC's New Museum) and Donwan Harrell (founder and creative director of Akademiks clothing) in selecting the top artist or designer to be featured at a gala reception at the Sky Room on the top floor of the New Museum in New York City. The public also plays judge - determining the most powerful medium of the moment - in an online face-off that pits art submissions against design submissions.
Along with creating opportunities for all the artists who participate, we are awarding over $11,000 in prizes.
Two Grand Prize winners will be awarded with:
- A gala reception at The Sky Room at the New Museum in New York City.

- $500 in gear from Akademiks
