» Calling all Art Handlers (New York)

Calling all art handlers: The Art Handling Olympics wants you! Register your team of four on their website and go head to head with New York City’s best, Sunday March 21st. The first competition of its kind, The Art Handling Olympics (AHO) celebrates the art world’s unsung heroes. These are the people who figure out how to fit over-sized sculptures into undersized elevators, find the straight lines in crooked paintings on slanted walls and eat the double park ticket so clients don’t have to! This March, we will crown the champions of the trade.

Man Ray Keep London Going 1938

LONDON.- Artists are invited to design a poster that promotes areas of London that lie beyond zone one of London’s public transport map in a new competition called The Outer Limits – Beyond Zone One.

Continuing the tradition of commissioning cutting edge poster design, London Transport Museum and Transport for London (TfL), along with partners London Design Festival and Visit London, have launched an open competition to design a poster that celebrates the discoveries, pleasures and excitements that London has to offer beyond the city centre.

The winning design will become part of London Transport Museum’s collection and will be reproduced as a poster for display on TfL’s transport network. Entries of particular merit will be exhibited at the Museum during the London Design Festival in September 2009.

The organisers are looking for designs that positively portray non-central London areas as exciting and varied destinations for both Londoners and visitors alike. Entries are limited to one poster per entrant and the deadline for entries is Monday 27 July. via…
