ANNOUNCEMENTS / EVENTS
The Alaska Railroad Corporation is soliciting submissions for its 2010
print, poster and lapel pin. The artwork has become a favorite among rail
fans and Alaska art collectors.
Ideas should be presented as a single thumbnail sketch no bigger than 11 x
17 inches, and must have an Alaska Railroad theme in order to be considered.
The Railroad has traditionally produced 750 signed and numbered prints,
4,000 posters and a large number of lapel pins. Visit
http://www.alaskarailroad.com to see samples of previous prints.
The artist chosen to design the 2010 print will be paid $3,000, and be given
10 artist proofs and 20 posters. The artist must agree to appear at a
signing in Anchorage and in Fairbanks. The Alaska Railroad will pay for the
artist¹s travel expenses. In return, the Alaska Railroad retains all rights
to the artwork.
Mail or deliver the sketch to Amy Cockerham at Bernholz & Graham, Inc. no
later than February 20, 2009 at 433 West 9th Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99501.
If you are dropping off the sketch in person, please do so between the hours
of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Artwork can be retrieved between
April 8 and April 10. Submissions must include a self addressed, stamped
envelope in order to be returned by mail. If submissions are not picked up
or returned by April 10, they will be discarded.
A committee will review the submissions and the successful artist will be
notified by telephone and by U.S. mail. If you feel you need access to
Alaska Railroad property for your research, please contact the Alaska
Railroad's Public Affairs office at (907) 265-2695. Safety is always a
concern at the Railroad. If you are in doubt, please call.
