Professional artists from around the world are invited to
explore the notion of innovation and express it through their
chosen medium. The application deadline is March 10, with artwork
due on June 2.
Arrow will award seven finalists with $5,000 commissions to
create their artwork and display it at the 2017 Cherry Creek Arts
Festival in Denver. One winner will also receive the $10,000
Innovation Award and a jury-exempt invitation to exhibit at the
2018 Cherry Creek Arts Festival. The seven pieces of art will
become part of Arrow’s permanent artwork collection and potentially
displayed in one of Arrow’s 465 locations around the world.
“This unique challenge encourages artists to explore that
tangible place between where what’s possible meets what’s
practical—or, what we at Arrow call Five Years Out,” said Joe
Verrengia, Arrow’s global director of corporate social
responsibility. “Five Years Out is a way of thinking reserved for a
special group of people who guide innovation forward: engineers,
inventors, makers and artists. We look forward to seeing this
year’s innovative expressions of Five Years Out and adding to our
collection of artwork, which inspires Arrow employees and customers
at locations around the world every day.”
