Announces the launch of
 

THE URBAN ARTS DESIGN COMPETITION
School Wide art Competition.

The  Art & Design Alumni Association is happy to announce
the 2nd Annual Art & Design’s Urban Arts School Wide Competition of 2017.
Last year’s contest was a great hit!

Students were asked to create a design on a template with a silhouette that mimics a subway car. Out of the submissions, 25 students were awarded a subway car replica donated from ALLCITYSTYLE to put their designs on the train. We had guest Graffiti artists and alumni come in for a panel discussion to judge the competition.
Last year, the winners were 1st place James Dundon, 2nd place Jacob Assell and 3rd Place James Navarro . They were awarded Graffiti art books signed by the writer along with art materials.

This year two new categories have been added to the competition: sneakers and skateboards.

All City Style Trains were tremendously
popular upon their introduction in 2004. Supported by multiple art shows in New York
San Francisco, London, Paris, Moscow, Melbourne and more. The All City Style trains were
embraced by the street art, fine art and designer toy communities.

Artists of all styles agree that the All City Style train is an excellent and unique platform of expression.
Where else to best hold this competition than in one of the key birthplaces of the urban arts culture.
Train was Created by Art & Design Alumni Klim Kozinevich class of 1985
and produced by Bigshot Toyworks.
20 Trains have been donated by Klim for ART & DESIGN to create a schoolwide competition.
