It seems like we've been teasing about putting up a new Critical Mass banner since the Mesozoic era, and here it finally is ' courtesy of our art intern Esen Pence and designer Carrie South. In honor of this great day, we're also launching our new banner policy. Let me explain:
We're big fans of local artists here at Critical Mass. We love the art stars like Zoe Strauss; we love the up-and-comers; and we love the little guys who haven't made it into a gallery yet. So, in hopes of promoting all of these artist types while also sprucing up our Web page, we're inviting everyone and anyone to submit a piece of work that could become our new Critical Mass banner. There are only two requirements: It needs to say "Critical Mass" somewhere, and it needs to fit into our dimensions (612 x 242 pixels, 72 dpi). Other than that, you're free as a bird. It can be a photograph, a painting, a collage, a pen-and-ink piece, a graphic illustration ' whatever, so long as it's visual. And it doesn't have to depict the arts in any way at all ' for example, it can be as tangential as our Halloween banner. We'll put the winners up for one month long each, with the first one going up Dec. 1.
You can submit as many works as you'd like, whenever you'd like, to criticalmass@citypaper.net. We will not use the pieces for any other purpose than as our Critical Mass banner, and along with each new banner, we'll do a post on the artist who created it.
Please tell, e-mail, tweet and RT this post to all of your artist friends and contacts ' and hit us up with any questions in the comments! Good luck!
