The Art Institute of Chicago is calling all creative types out there to help us decorate and redesign our “Red Cubes” that have been scattered around the city.
Your design could be selected to be featured in an exhibition in the museum!
Chicagoans are invited to contribute to the “500-Ways Project,” a city-wide art project that supports “500 Ways of Looking at Modern,” the Art Institute’s season celebrating the opening of the Modern Wing.
Whether you found one of the 500 cubes scattered around the city, or simply downloaded the 501st cube online, artists are encouraged to participate in the project by completing the unique tasks assigned to their cube.
The installation–a selection of the best entries–will run for the entire month of March, featuring sculpture, video, photography, poetry, and prose.
Submit your creations by posting projects to 500-ways.com, tweeting @artinstitutechi, leaving a message on our Facebook page, or dropping your artwork off at the museum by Jan. 31, 2010.
Entries chosen for display will be returned at the end of the exhibition.
