Find out tonight! at the New Museum!
For the past six weeks hundreds of artists and designers participated in a competition that asked the eternal question: "What moves the world more: Art or Design?"
Tonight, Wednesday, June 24th you are invited to participate in the answer.
Submissions were received from over 60 countries, with an incredible array of style and talent.
The announcement and party will be held at the New Museum, located at 235 Bowery in New York City.
There will be an after-party at Katra Lounge, with free mojitos, projections of the top selected work from the competition and jump-up dance music from dj Kimyon.
All of this is absolutely free.
About Artists Wanted
Artists Wanted is a collaborative project between several New York City artists and creative organizations working to build new lasting opportunities for emerging talent. We have experienced first hand the difficulties in breaking into the professional art world and it is our mission to make this process more welcoming, dynamic and open-ended.
We are in the thick of a New American Art Boom; with art being sold at records rates, new artists quickly acquiring international fame and dynamic new artistic directions being explored. However, we believe many of the best new artists remain undiscovered. Our job is to get your work seen in the most powerful way possible.
Collectively we have over two decades experience within the New York City art world and our goal is to use our networks and infrastructure to bring undiscovered talent to the forefront. You did the hard part, making great work. Now let us find your audience. Artists Wanted.
About The New Museum
In 1977, Marcia Tucker found the New Museum of Contemporary Art, and, with the support of Trustee Allen Goldring, opened an office in New York's Fine Arts Building at 105 Hudson Street in Tribeca on January 1. Early exhibitions were held offsite. Tucker conceived the New Museum as a place with a scope lying somewhere between grassroots alternative spaces for contemporary art and major museums that show only artists of proven historical value. Prior to founding the New Museum, Tucker was Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Whitney Museum of American Art from 1969 to 1977.
Fast forward to December 1, 2007, the New Museum opens its first freestanding, dedicated building. Conceived as a sculptural stack of rectilinear boxes dynamically shifted off-axis around a central steel core, this innovative structure has a variety of open, fluid, and light-filled spaces, with skylights created by the setbacks between floors. The exterior is clad in a seamless, anodized aluminum mesh, which emphasizes the volumes of the boxes while dressing the whole building in a delicate, softly shimmering skin. The elegantly rough structure suits both the New Museum’s character as well as its neighborhood. The edifice appears as a shimmering beacon, visually mutable and dynamic, animated by the changing light of the day—a perfect metaphor for the ever-changing nature of contemporary art. The museum’s mission: to present NEW ART & NEW IDEAS.
