Crater Bay Area Lunar Drawing Contest Award Ceremony at San Jose ICA

Crater Bay Area Lunar Drawing Contest:
A drawing competition to win land on the moon!
Award Ceremony: August 1, 7-8 PM

Created by artist duo Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese (Ligorano/Reese), Crater Bay Area is a drawing contest in which artists and non-artists alike will sketch the moon in a competition to win deeds of land on the moon. The contest takes place at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) from May 30 – August 2. A ten-foot scale model of the moon will be installed in the middle of the gallery to serve as the subject of the drawing contest. Visitors may sketch their unique moonscapes using either traditional drawing materials or digital tools. Each participant will have up to 30 minutes to create a drawing that will hang on the gallery walls for the duration of the exhibition. Additionally, these images will be hosted digitally on the ICA’s website and in “Second Life.” The winning submissions will be selected by a panel of esteemed judges, including artists, art critics, technologists, curators, and local celebrities. An award ceremony will convene on the evening of Friday, August 1 and the celebrated artists will receive certified deeds to a plot of land on the moon.

All drawing entries are posted on the ICA’s flickr webstream. During gallery hours check out the live webstream on the ICA’s website. Still looking for more Crater Bay Area? Visit a parallel contest in Second Life on the island on Artropolis.
