Theme: "COLLAB"
Off Color is partnering with The American Poster Institute(API), a non-profit corporation dedicated to furthering public awareness and appreciation of the poster art form. They are rebooting their postergeist flat stock fair comprised of artists who primarily work on commissioned projects(posters for Concerts, Films, Events, etc). The poster institute has quite a following, with artists all over the country. API hosts similar events at SXSW, Sundance, DesignerCon, as well as a handful of international events. This Spring's OffColor will be "OffColor x Postergeist".
Since we're collaborating, we're trying to inspire artists/vendors to collaborate with other artists/vendors. If you haven't done so in the past, if your media/products don't work in a way that is conducive to collaboration don't let that be a roadblock to applying. All we are looking for is an openness to collaborate with others who will be at OffColor. We'll be considering potential collab partners during the jurying of the applications. We'll make suggestions, as to what other artists might make a good collab with you, but won't force anything.
