BUS & ARTS * USA - City buses feature photos of local food and farmers
Transit’s ‘art buses’ make their debut in Asheville, North Carolina
Asheville,NC,USA -Mountain Xpress/City Farmer News, by Michael Levenston -27 March 2010: -- Three Asheville area artists have won the city’s first “Art on Transit” competition, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department announced recently. Each artist will be awarded a $750 honorarium, and their design will grace both sides of a single bus. The winners were: Ray Noland’s “Jeweled Forest,” a color-splashed, whimsical forest; Naomi Johnson’s photos of local food and farmers; and Nina Ruffini’s “Message,” featuring bunnies adrift in boats... A five-member jury, which included a bus driver, met and considered more than 60 submissions. The jury picked six finalists and suggested the three winners, which were unanimously confirmed by Asheville’s Public Art Board... The work will remain on display for at least four months, according to Diane Ruggerio, the city’s superintendent of cultural arts. Ruggerio said she hopes “Art on Transit” will become an annual project... (Naomi Johnson’s photos of local food and farmers)Labels: art on buses
