Nothing makes a statement like statement art; no other piece of décor says more about your style and state of mind. We created the Art Print Challenge to create contemporary art that’s collectible, changeable and accessible to all… without sacrificing an ounce of originality and brilliance. The more original and personal the art pieces that adorn a wall, the more welcoming and fresh the home. With so many untapped, brilliant artists and designers out there, it’s time to give their original talent a voice and platform. Today’s home gallery is collected, quirky… maybe even a little cheeky. We’re looking for artists with all that and more.

Because the best place for your art isn’t in your portfolio, it’s hanging on someone’s wall.

Red Clay challenges you to create an original work of art to be printed in limited edition and archival quality.

ILLUSTRATION/PAINTING
original, hand-drawn or painted works in pencil, watercolor, oil, acrylic, collage…crayon, you name it. Let yourartistic creativity step into the track-lit spotlight.

GRAPHICS
graphic design combines art and technology to communicate an idea, a mood, an emotion. use an image to carry your message. whether abstract, geometric, or iconic, an image truly is worth a thousand words.

TEXT/TYPOGRAPHY
what words look like is as important as their meaning. tempt us with type. sassy, quirky or just plain irreverent; “Keep Calm and Design On”!

Archival quality, 100% cotton rag paper. We want your work of art to stand the test of time. Archival quality paper ensures your design will retain image permanence and color quality.

Winning designs will be recreated using the CMYK color palette. Designers have the entire CMYK spectrum with which to create. If you are working digitally, please be sure to create all of your colors using the CMYK palette.

A soy based ink will be utilized in our printing process. The ink employed by our vendor, Solstice Press, has no limitations in it’s color spectrum and actually comes out brighter than it’s mainstream petroleum-based solvents.

Solstice Press, our award-winning printing press, is a family-owned, green certified print shop committed to the highest quality, off-set lithography as well as environmentally and socially responsible business processes.

At Red Clay, we rely on the stylish wisdom of the crowd – Red Clay fans, friends, designers and customers – to vote for what they believe are the best designs.
