Details
HEY GORGEOUS, WE HEARD YOU’VE GOT TALENT. Moxy Times Square invites street artists, illustrators and graphic designers from around the world to design a large wall panel inspired by New York City that captures the spirit of Getting Away With It.
Moxy and its panel of judges are looking for artwork that embodies the spirit of getting away with it, captures the true cultural vibe of New York and entertains our fun hunting travelers. The more fun, spontaneous and playful, the better. Before submitting, please read the 'Things to Consider' section below and check out this mood board.
To mark the opening, Moxy Times Square is offering one global visual artist the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have their work live on as part of the hotel’s art collection. The selected art piece will be printed onto two large mesh panels (116 inches x 120 feet each; 232 inches by 120 feet total design space) that will be hung from the ceiling along the atrium wall of the hotel that spans 14 stories and can be seen from several floors and vantage points inside the hotel.
The Selected Artist and their work will also be featured at the hotel’s grand opening party on September 7, 2017, attended by international media, bloggers, influencers, and VIP's from New York’s pulsating cultural scene. The Selected Artist will be flown to New York to attend the grand opening (travel and accommodation provided) and will receive $8,000. Three Finalists will receive $500 each and potential exposure across the @MoxyHotels and @MoxyTimesSquare Instagram channels.
