The Art & Work Awards- Corporate Art Competition

Posted on January 15, 2008 at 2:05 PM by Tracy Frost.

BRITISH COMPANIES ARE TO BE ENCOURAGED TO COMPETE FOR A NEW AWARD WHICH WILL REWARD ARTISTIC TALENT AMONG THEIR EMPLOYEES

British companies are to be encouraged to compete for a new award which The Award for the Most Artistic Employee, sponsored by Gardiner & Theobald, will be presented to an individual for a work of art selected by their employer, via an in-house art competition or exhibition, for entry to the national finals. Each organization may nominate up to three employees. It is hoped that the award will encourage more businesses to be proactive in maximizing the benefits that art can introduce to their HR activities such as providing new opportunities for communication, creativity and skills exchange.

The new award is an addition to the Art & Work Awards which have been running since 1985 and set the benchmark for good practice in the use of art in creating better work places. They attract a wide range of entries from artists, architects, designers, property developers, businesses, local authorities and government departments.

Inspiration for these images comes from occurrences visible and invisible: swirling water or smoke, light and electrical events in the cosmos, biological events on a microscopic or particle level, as well as the phenomenon of energy becoming matter and returning back to energy. More details about Thomas' work can be found in our Art Gallery
