MoveOn.org Political Action and Obey Giant invite you to show your art at the Democratic National Convention at the Manifest Hope Gallery in Denver!
Art plays a pivotal role in creating cultural momentum. Shepard Fairey’s Obama HOPE poster is a perfect example of a work of art having immediate impact across the country.
MoveOn.org has partnered with Shepard Fairey to create the Manifest Hope Online Gallery Art Contest.
This is your chance to get involved. Submit your artwork themed around Hope, Change, Progress, Unity and Patriotism—the themes that Obama’s campaign brought to public awareness. You can submit any kind of art: painting, sculpture, collage—any 2D or 3D creation that exemplifies the positive themes of Obama’s campaign.
Submission is quick and simple. Just click here to submit images of your original artwork. MoveOn will be accepting submissions from today through 11:59 a.m. EDT on August 18, 2008.
Of the submitted works, up to 30 pieces selected by our judges will be displayed online in a virtual gallery, and 5 pieces will be shown at the Manifest Hope Gallery show, which will run from Sunday, August 24 to Thursday, August 28, 2008 at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. All artwork displayed in the virtual gallery will be auctioned via eBay with all proceeds going to progressive causes.
Grassroots energy is at the core of MoveOn.org. Grassroots energy helped Barack Obama win the primary race. And grassroots energy will help propel Obama to victory in November. Please use your creative ideas to help capture the energy we are experiencing in this campaign season!
Please make sure to read the contest guidelines thoroughly before submitting your work.
Partners of the Manifest Hope Gallery include: MoveOn.org, Upper Playgound, Subliminal Projects, Studio Number One, Evolutionary Media Group, and Obey.
