Call for Designers of All
Disciplines
The Museum of Design Atlanta is holding a fall exhibition called
The South`s Next Wave
celebrating design in the South. This will be a collaborative
exhibition featuring several Southern designers. Curators, David Goodrowe
and Tim Hobby, are asking for submissions from object designers and space
designers (aka interior designers, product designers, event designers,
window designers, etc) to be part of this show. It`s both curated and
competitive with an award presented at the end of the exhibition.
These designers should exemplify the myriad new directions the
Southern aesthetic has taken.
Selected designers will collaborate on
an installation to be displayed at MODA from September 29, 2012 –
January 6, 2013 and will compete for a cash prize of $6,000 and a feature
article in a major Atlanta lifestyle magazine.
Information about the exhibition
and how to submit is attached. Please forward this to any Southern
designers you think might be interested. (You might also want to apply
yourself!)
The deadline for submissions is June 30
. We want this show to provide an internationally-recognized
glimpse of the great things that are being created in the South!
Entries should be submitted by email to
designchallengeMODA@gmail.com
by June 30, 2012.
