V-TARP PublicAdCampaign Submission

In case you didn't see our first post on this, Jerm IX in Vancouver is currently accepting submissions for a project he calls V-tarp. If you send him work at a standard size, he will post it in the Vancouver transit system and you get to be a part of a huge public reclamation project. Send all inquiries to vantarp@gmail.com or check the website, most importantly, get your work to Vancouver.

"The Vancouver Transit Adspace Re-appropriation Project, or V-TARP, intends to reclaim the highly sought after mindspace used by corporations to communicate with the public, by collecting artworks from across the globe and installing them in the transit adspace."
