Artist Collective Unveils Gallery Exhibition And Urban Showcase For Local Talent
The Courvoisier Collective supports local art community by bringing art back to the streets
The Courvoisier Collective program is the latest stage of the Courvoisier brand’s ‘Revolutionary Spirit’ campaign. The program launched on June 6, 2011 with a call for art submissions. To participate and become a member of the Courvoisier Collective, artists submitted artwork to CourvoisierCollective.com. During the one-month submission period over 130 art submissions, which spoke to the theme of the ‘renewal’ of the power of art, were received.
All submissions were eligible for a ‘Gallery Award’ call, where selected works, as chosen by online votes and the judging panel, will be exhibited at Gallery 1313. In addition, the three winning entries as determined by a panel of curators will have their submission appear on high-traffic urban billboards and PATH posters in Toronto during August 2011.
The TOP THREE BILLBOARD WINNERS ARE:
Erik Jerezano, First Place
Hyein Lee, Second Place
Mark Laliberte, Third Place
