Friday 04th February 2011 LAST DAY TO ENTER

Today is the last day to enter the Art Stars competition for an opportunity to win the commission prize and week-long studio experience with one of the mentors.

Over the last month, we’ve been impressed by the diversity of topics tackled at the mentor talks. Hearing the stories of how they developed their career and learning a bit more about the concepts and applications of their practice has proven how a week in the studio with each one of these talented artists will bring an exchange of fresh ideas.

After today, all the entries will be sent off to judges Francesca Gavin, Cedar Lewisohn and Pedro Alonzo to review. All winners will be announced just one week from today, on Friday, 11th of February and will have just 24 hours to respond to the call after being contacted.

Winners will then travel to the mentor’s studio where they’ll develop the concept of their star and bring the work to life! This will also be a chance for some one-on-one time to talk about the artist’s work and the current commissioned project.

Check back to see who this talented group of winning artists are next week. Until then, make sure you see a recap of the mentor talks in the gallery!

Polo Jeans Co. Ralph Lauren Art Stars

Polo Jeans Co. Ralph Lauren Art Stars

In January 2010, Polo Jeans Co. Ralph Lauren commissioned over 40 of Europe’s most exciting young contemporary artists to customise stars made from the finest American denim.

With the iconic Stars and Stripes flag for inspiration, each young artist was tasked with creating something totally unique: beyond the shapes and sizes of the Art Stars, the only limit was their imaginations...

Each Art Star will appear in a Polo Jeans Co. store, before joining a public exhibition in London in late 2010.

Contemporary art and fashion aficionados will have the opportunity to own one of these exclusive Art Stars.

All the stars created will be brought together in a public exhibition in London in late 2010 and auctioned in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.

Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of young people with cancer between the ages of 13-24.

Teenagers don’t stop being teenagers because they have cancer, which is why Teenage Cancer Trust builds specialist units in NHS hospitals, staffed by teenage cancer specialists.

These units are designed for and by young people and aim to give teenage cancer patients the very best chance of a positive outcome whilst being as close as possible to normal life.

State-of-the-art facilities keep patients occupied during long, and often grueling stays, whilst bringing teenagers with cancer together so they can support each other.
