News & Events: Art Spaces, Inc., Wabash Valley Outdoor Sculpture Collection


	2012 Max Ehrmann Poetry Competition Art Spaces, Inc. - Wabash Valley Outdoor Sculpture Collection and Arts Illiana are pleased to announce the 2012 Max Ehrmann Poetry Competition. Entries must be mailed by February 24, 2012. The competition is open to individuals and students living, working or attending school in the following six Indiana counties: Clay, Parke, Putnam, Sullivan, Vermillion and Vigo. Cash prizes will be awarded. Works will be accepted in three categories: poetry inspired by a work of art; poetry inspired by trees or other green things; and poetry inspired by city life or an urban environment. Up to two poems per contestant will be accepted. The contest will be judged by three Indiana poets. The purpose of the competition is to encourage the writing of new poetry as a contemporary art form deeply rooted in tradition, to foster an interdisciplinary connection between art forms, and to honor Max Ehrmann, a treasured regional poet whose works were inspired by a love for his own community, its natural surroundings and the people in it. A life-size bronze sculpture of this nationally renowned writer, by West Terre Haute artist Bill Wolfe, was installed in 2010 in Terre Haute as part of the Art Spaces Collection. It is located at the corner of 7th Street and Wabash Avenue on the Arts Corridor at the Crossroads of America. For an entry form click here. Or send a request to info@wabashvalleyartspaces.com.

Winning entries will be exhibited at the Vigo County Public Library in April. Public readings of winning works as well as works by the judges will be held during April at various locations to be announced at a later time. This exhibit is sponsored by St. Mary-of-the-Woods College and other area universities and businesses. 2012 MAX EHRMANN POETRY COMPETITION ENTRY FORM New Banners for the City's Arts Corridor! Art Spaces, Inc. recently worked with ISU's Energize Downtown on a contest for a new banner design for the Arts Corridor. Terre Haute Designer Levi McGranahan's winning entry has recently been printed and 26 banners have been installed along 7th Street between Poplar and Cherry Streets. The first banner design competition was held in 2006 and artist Sala Wong's winning design served as the designation for the Arts Corridor until late last year. The City of Terre Haute established the Arts Corridor in 2006. The purpose of the banners is to identify the Arts Corridor as a special district, draw attention to the arts of our city, and add an attractive artistic element to this lively downtown area. 23 entries were received and the decision was made by a panel which included representation from: Indiana State University Department of Art, Downtown Terre Haute, Inc., City of Terre Haute, Art Spaces, Arts Illiana, Swope Art Museum and Halcyon Gallery. The mission of Art Spaces is to establish a public sculpture collection for Terre Haute and the surrounding region of the Wabash Valley. This lively non-profit recently moved downtown to Ohio Street and also acts on a consulting basis for other arts projects in the area. Art Spaces has installed four sculptures downtown along the Arts Corridor including Gatekeeper at Vigo County Public Library; Free Fly, adjacent to the Indiana Theater; Spirit of Space in front of the Swope Art Museum; Max Ehrmann at the Crossroads at 7th and Wabash. Art Spaces has a new home in Downtown Terre Haute! You can find us at our new addrewss in downtown Terre Haute! We are now located at 669 Ohio Street, Terre Haute.
