The red IMC letters that are currently on the building where once a little snazzier, with a circus feel painted on by Chris Hampson. Check out this photo from our sneak peek of the new sign in 2009:
That paint job deteriorated, and now just the red letters remain.
So it’s time for something new. Here’s the request from their website:
The IMC is now seeking proposals from artists to design and paint a new outdoor sign. We seek a diversity of applications by a variety of artists. The chosen design will serve as a main identifier for the public to the IMC as a space. We are replacing our current sign with large aluminum letters reading “I-M-C” on the west-facing front side of the building. Each letter fits within 4’ x 4’ square. We will have the aluminum sheets cut out according to design. We are offering a $100 honorarium to the chosen artist.
Artists should submit their design concept with a short explanation (1-2 paragraphs) of how they see their design as a reflection of the mission of the IMC. Deadline is June 15.
Please send a proposal to: briandolinar@ucimc.org
