EXTENDED APPLICATION DEADLINE: JANUARY 5, 2024.   Thank you for your interest in participating in our Bicentennial Brew: A Taste of Tallahassee contest!    LeMoyne Arts is excited to announce the partnership with PROOF Brewing Co. to hold our second can-art label competition during LeMoyne’s opening exhibit of 2024. PROOF will judge the competition and select ONE can-artwork to be the featured label on one of their custom-brewed beers. The winning can artwork is scheduled to launch at LeMoyne’s Chain of Parks Art Festival held on April 20 & 21, 2024!   In celebration of Tallahassee’s Bicentennial, the designs should focus on Tallahassee landmarks, heritage, and culture.   Artists are welcome to submit as many designs as they would like, to be reviewed by LeMoyne’s Artists Review Committee. The selected designs will go on display in LeMoyne’s Albrecht & Hoover Gallery space. The exhibit will be on view from Tuesday, January 16 – Saturday, February 24, 2024. PROOF will announce the competition winning design during the exhibit opening, Tuesday, January 16, from 5:00 – 7:30 pm.   Artists will need to add their artwork to PROOF’s design template, attached to this application. LeMoyne will show the original artwork next to the printed design, which must be framed and ready to hang in a gallery (wire hanging is strongly preferred). If you don’t have graphic design skills, LeMoyne staff can help you for a small fee.    Artists are encouraged to take behind-the-scenes photos while they work for marketing purposes. Please email them (with descriptions) to chloe@lemoyne.org.    Make sure to check your junk mail for Eventeny messages. All communication will be sent through their system.    Important Dates:  1.
