Design
the Art Works Logo
February
1, 2010
Washington, DC
Chairman
Rocco Landesman announced that the National Endowment
for the Arts (NEA) has released a request for proposals
(RFP) for a new “Art Works” logo; the RFP
is available at http://www.arts.gov/artworksdesign
How would you represent the phrase “art works”
in a single image?
Chairman Rocco “Art works” is Rocco’s
guiding principle for his work at the NEA. The phrase
has three meanings: “art works” are the
plays, paintings, dances, films and the other works
of art that are the creation of artists; “art
works” describes the effect of art on audiences
and viewers, art works to transport, transform, inspire,
and challenge us; and “art works’ is a reminder
that arts workers are real workers with real jobs who
are part of this country’s real economy.
It’s time to convert these words into a powerful
image, one that conveys the complexity and power of
“art works.” Speaking at the Design and
Architecture Senior High school he said, “Those
two words – “art works” – pretty
much sum up everything we are about at the NEA and I
hope you will see them everywhere. Art, artists, and
arts professionals work to change the communities they
inhabit: they are placemakers and help create livable,
sustainable, complete communities. I look forward to
having a logo that conveys that.”
Here’s a fantastic opportunity to apply your creative
talents to our vision.
The deadline for submissions is February
26th, so time is of the essence.
We look forward to hearing from you!

 Americans
for the Arts sent print advertising packets
to over 10,000 media outlets across the nation. The
ads point
out that children don’t
get enough art in school or at home. They feature catchy
headlines that misinterpret famous names in the arts such
as, “Why Some People Think Duke Ellington is a
member of the Royal Family.”
Many of the ads have already appeared in publications
such as the New York Times and Harpers’ Bazaar.
Keep an eye out for them in local publications and log-on
to www.americansforthearts.org and
learn 10 simple ways to get more art in kids’ lives.
