obey and moveon's manifest hope art contest, by rachel koper on Aug 8, 2008 20:28:58 GMT 1,
Hey so,
I've heard about this for a while, it's finally posted and official, but the deadline to enter obama art is Aug. 18th, very soon. It's seems like it'll be a great show. Here is the offical call for art....

MoveOn.org, artist Shepard Fairey and Upper Playground announced today that they will join forces to host the โManifest Hope Art Galleryโ (manifesthope.com) at the Democratic National Convention. The gallery, open from Sunday, August 24 through Thursday, August 28 2008, will feature both known and new artists all supporting Barack Obama for President.
The groups also launched a related contest today, calling for entries of visual art from grassroots supporters of Senator Obama. Similar to MoveOn.orgโs โObama in 30 secondsโ contest, the submissions will be reviewed by a panel of judges including famed artists Ross Bleckner, April Gornik, Eric Fischl, Shepard Fairey, musicians Moby, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and DJ Spooky and Cydney Payton - Executive Director & Chief Curator Museum of Modern Art Denver, and Nancy Spector - Author & Guggenheim Curator of Contemporary Art. Five finalists will be selected to show in the MANIFEST HOPE Gallery alongside well-known artists such as Shepard Fairey, Sam Flores, Ron English, Chris Pastras, Mel Kadel and David Choe.
I have some of these Austin made stencils in my office...

It's probably just because of fun stuff like taxes, duties, and insurance bonding fees.
upperplayground, obey giant, Mr. English, it's great to see this group all working together outside of Cali.
thanks for those links I'll be checking all of them. I think one of my good friends Zach McDonald from Austin will be participating but I haven't seen the new work yet.

I mean, come on. The Obama/Hope 08 and the Unite Us ones are fucking garbage. They're like poster art for Obama. was it a graphic design contest or an art contest? And yes, in this case they are mutually exclusive!
I liked yours CJ. It had great artistic integrity and although it was little more abstract than the other submissions, it was profoundly clear in it's content.
Better luck next time.

obey and moveon's manifest hope art contest, by Michael Jacob on Aug 27, 2008 13:44:24 GMT 1, thanks jay
im wondering if it didnt make the cut since it was specifically referencing he was the President? All other artwork was more HOPE and PROGRESS focused?
