Chairman Rocco Landesman Announces a Request for Proposals
for a New "Art Works" Logo for the NEA
New logo w i l l em body the th ree m ean ings o f "Ar t W

February 10, 2010
Wynwood, Miami, Florida -- Today, at a visit to a graphic
design class at the Design and Architecture Senior High
school (DASH) in Miami's Wynwood/Design District,
Chairman Rocco Landesman announced that the National
Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has released a request for
proposals (RFP) for a new "Art Works" logo; the RFP is available
at
www.arts.gov/artworksdesign.
At the announcement, Chairman Landesman was joined by DASH
principal Stacey
Mancuso, arts advocate and patron Lin Arison, gallerist David
Castillo, director of
The Wolfsonian-FIU Cathy Leff, architect Terry Riley, and NEA
Senior Deputy
Chairman Joan Shigekawa. The visit to DASH was part of the
Chairman's latest stop
on his "Art Works" tour across America; he was in Miami to see
the role that
design, architecture, and artists play in creating the greater
Miami area we know
today.
When used by the Chairman, the phrase "art works" has three
meanings: "art
works" are the plays, paintings, dances, films and the other
works of art that are the
creation of artists; "art works" describes the effect of art on
audiences and viewers,
art works to transport, transform, inspire, and challenge us;
and "art works' is a
reminder that arts workers are real workers with real jobs who
are part of this
country's real economy.
While visiting with senior students in a graphic design class at
DASH, the Chairman
announced the RFP that invites proposals for a new "Art Works"
logo for the NEA. The
proposed logos should incorporate all three of the meanings of
"Art Works" and tie
them to the NEA in such a way that the proposed logo might be
used alone or in
conjunction with the NEA's current logo.
Chairman Landesman said, "Those two words "art works" pretty
much sum up
everything we are about at the NEA, and I hope you will see them
everywhere. Art,
artists, and arts professionals work to change the communities
they inhabit: they are
placemakers and help create livable, sustainable, complete
communities. I look
forward to having a logo that conveys that."
Dr. Mancuso said, "We were thrilled that Rocco chose DASH as the
location to
announce this RFP. Our students represent the next generation of
design
professionals, and it means a lot that the NEA is actively
looking to connect with the
future of the field, in addition to their work with emerging and
already established
masters."
Complete information about the RFP requirements and instructions
for submitting
may be found at www.arts.gov/artsworksdesign. Proposals are due
by 5:00 p.m. EST
on Friday, February, 26, 2010. Potential proposers must direct
