The deadline for submitting your art for consideration to the next round of MTD ART is approaching on August 19th. You could be one of the artists to have their work displayed inside MTD buses and at the Illinois Terminal, and here’s how you can apply. Four selected artists will be featured on the interior overhead panels of every MTD bus for three months. Julie posted about a round of artists earlier this year if you want to get an idea of what we’re talking about here.
Here’s a bit more about the program if you’re unfamiliar:
For as long as MTD has existed, its mission has been to seamlessly transport the rider from point A to point B. With MTD ART: Moving Pictures Through Your Neighborhood, they are focusing on a different type of transportation: transportation of the mind! The inclusion of art on all MTD buses is not to be understated. With this collaborative program from 40 North, MTD, and Dixon Graphics, riders will be treated to the finest artwork that this community has to offer while selected artists will have the opportunity to share their talents with a whole new audience. It shows that transportation can be more than getting the rider from one spot to another — it can also be an introduction to the transcendent power of art!
