  • urban utopia - what it is all about!?

    «artacks» launches its first edition competition! with this new instrument, we offer a platform, where unique artworks in limited editions will be realised.

    this time we do not artack a physical space - with our first edition project we even go beyond virtuality, until we reach «urban utopia» - the city of dreams... or nightmares? in urban utopia everything is possible...therefore our quest for you is: create a street sign for urban utopia

    we share the power with the people! all artworks we receive, will be shown online in our «voting gallery» section. the top 10 of the urban utopia competition will be finally selected by a public and democratic online voting. «wild cards»: if we get swamped with excellent works, «artacks» reserves the right to choose 5 additional artworks for printing.

    «artacks» will print the selected artworks in an edition of 10 pieces or to be more precisely: the street signs will be silkprinted on aluminium plates in original size.

    be a winner and earn fame, a free print & money! As a winner you get an «artist-masterprint» of your artwork for free. We will sell the printed editions on our website for around 300 euros a plate. as soon as we sell one of your artworks, you will get cash from us! (detailed information see «general terms & conditions»). Don't hesitate & participate now!
