SEATTLE, June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagekind, the fastest growing online art site and community for consumers and artists to buy and sell professional, museum-quality framed digital art, today announced that it is sponsoring "Art Inspires", a nonprofit art makeover contest. The contest is being held in conjunction with Washington State's first-ever Online Art Walk, which will take place Monday June 25th through Sunday August 19th, 2007 at Imagekind.com. All Western Washington nonprofits located throughout King, Pierce and Snohomish counties are eligible to apply for the art makeover between June 14th and July 13th at http://www.imagekind.com/charity.aspx. Imagekind will donate up to eight digitally printed, museum-quality framed works of art from a selection of emerging artists from Washington State being showcased in the Online Art Walk event. A reveal on August 9th will feature the before and after images of the room selected for a makeover by the winning nonprofit. In addition, Accredited Staging Professional Kari Takacs, owner of Curtin Call, will work with the winning nonprofit to select and professionally stage their art work.
"We are thrilled to sponsor this contest for Washington's nonprofits. Art really can inspire people and at Imagekind we are inspired by the great things nonprofits do for our community every day," stated Kevin Saliba, Imagekind President and Chief Operating Officer.
Unlike traditional online poster art sites, Imagekind is building a true online art community by uniting consumers with both emerging and established artists, and the largest combination of printing and framing choices available at affordable prices.
