Skywards Future Artists Competition 2012
Open for submissions!
(Skywards To Give Prizes And Exposure To Artists And Their Teachers)

Skywards Future Artists is set to be bigger than ever in 2012. Whether artists are at college, self-taught or have been pursuing their passion for years, Emirates aims to give them the opportunity to gain worldwide exposure through Skywards membership cards. Artists can submit their entries across three broad media categories: Painting/Illustration, Photography/Digital Media and 3D – Sculpture/ Glass/Ceramics.

The entries submitted will be judged by a panel of judges and the finalists will be voted upon by Skywards members. The winning artworks will be featured on the Skywards 2013 membership cards. The artist’s name will be displayed alongside their work on the card and will be seen by Skywards’ members around the world. The creators of the winning artworks will receive US$5,000 and have their work showcased through the Skywards membership cards. This year, there is also a prize of US $2,000 for the institution if the winning artists are an art student.

George by Jeffrey Perkins – Kickstarter

Hurray!

We have reached our goal today, one day ahead of schedule! Thanks to all of you great people who have been so supportive, which has and will further inspire us to bring forth a really great and wide portrait of George Maciunas.

Raising $20,000 on Kickstarter is a great achievement and we want to tell you how grateful that we are for your generous support, however, the project will need more money for the future steps in the filmmaking. Our project will be online until Friday (midnight) which means we are still welcoming donations and encourage you to keep spreading the word even though we have met our goal.

Also, we plan to create a thank you party in the near future here in NYC, so please stay tuned!

With my Best Wishes

Jeff Perkins

* Polipop is an art world that intersects politics and pop art. It takes serious discussions surrounding geopolitics of global, media culture and livens them up as accessible, eye-catching, fun pop art. With the use of strong primary colors and bold outlines, Cheon’s large scaled digital paintings mimic the language of advertisements, political posters, and propaganda banners. Each unique digital painting is collaged with images from the Internet, rescaled on the computer, and printed on canvas. Polipop and Paintings includes a series of digital paintings (8×5 feet each) coming from Cheon’s mid-career solo exhibit Polipop at the Sungkok Art Museum in Seoul, Korea. The exhibition will also include Cheon’s last hand-painted masterpiece, 15 Billion Years, a mammoth 72×8 foot hand painting.
