Choosing the Ironclad Winners: From 1000+ to 152; from 152 to 28; from28 to (ta-da!) the final 28…
Over 1000 designs for storm and sanitary sewer covers were submitted to the Ironclad Art Manhole Design Challenge. A jury selected a long-list of the 152 best submissions and then a shortlist of 28 from which the final designs were selected.
The artists who submitted the best two designs will each receive $2,000. Their works will be cast in iron and installed on Vancouver streets for up to 100 years. The winners will be announced on June 1, 2013.
A free exhibition at the Interurban Gallery (1 East Hastings at Carrall Street) runs May 28 through June 8, 2013 between 1 and 5 p.m. It will showcase at all of the works submitted.
Voting for the People’s Choice takes place online at ironcladart.ca and at the Interurban Gallery throughout the run of the exhibition. People’s Choice winners will be announced on June 10th.
