Calling all Graphic Artists!!! Time Limited!


Heads up for all you graphic artists out there!


The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) invites contractors to submit proposals for a design for a new “Art Works” logo for the National Endowment for the Arts. Winning bidder would also produce a finished design that may be reproduced by the Agency in print and online. (Please note: They're NOT looking for a change of their current logo - above. They're looking for branding images/ideas for the "Art Works" campaign. Check out the NEA website if you want more information about the campaign.)

On the RFP form you’ll find a “Statement of Work/solicitation” for the job. The NEA is looking for designs that will give a graphic identity to “Art Works,” the tagline that NEA Chairman Rocco Landsman has been using to help brand the work of the Agency.

The NEA is focused on the triple meaning of “Art Works”:

1. “Art Works” is a noun that refers to the works of art that artists create.

2. “Art Works” reminds us that a goal of art is to work on audiences and viewers to inspire, transport, and challenge them.

3. “Art Works” is a reminder that arts workers are real workers who are part of this country’s real economy. They earn salaries, support families, pay taxes. Artists are also entrepreneurs and placemakers, who revitalize towns, cities, and neighborhoods – both the economies and the ethos of them.

Questions concerning this proposal shall be submitted only via email to harrisl@arts.gov before 5:00 pm (EST) on Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Please submit your proposals by Friday, February 26, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. (EST) via email to artworksrfp@arts.gov. An evaluation team will rank each submission (with a scoring of up to 100 points). The winning proposal will not only rank highly, but will also be financially competitive. Maximum estimate for this campaign is $25,000. See the RFP for full information.
