KWF's Sponsored Artist 2017 search is go for launch!

Do you know a skilled visual artist or illustrator who embodies the intersection of technology, community, and creativity? Could this person be you? Our nomination page is open for applications.

The alumni of KWF's Sponsored Artist Program are a small but highly gifted group. Each artist brought their own unique vision and passion to Comic-Con. This vision and passion is the clearest and most vibrant explanation of what we here at KWF might hope to see in a new batch of nominees for 2017. If you're interested in applying or nominating a friend, we encourage you to learn more about our previous Sponsored Artists, check out their art online, and be inspired. Our alumni have set a high bar. We expect this year's nomination pool to be even more competitive. And yet it isn't about winning and losing. Rather, it's about following your truest, most passionate self through your art. So to our creative friends out there we say this: Please share your passion with your friends, your fans, and your community. Share it with us at KWF, and we'll do our best to help you share it with the world. 

With the afterglow of Con 2016 receding in our main viewer, and new adventures approaching at Warp 9, we again open our hailing frequencies. The search for KWF's 2017 Sponsored Artist begins next week!

Each year we sponsor an artist to attend San Diego Comic-Con International, which unless you've been stuck incognito in a cave-dwelling, pre-Warp civilization, you'll recognize as the most important convention of its kind from here to the Gamma Quadrant. The Foundation's program provides a Sponsored Artist with up to two (2) 4-day badges for access to the sold out convention along with an opportunity to showcase their portfolio, sell product, and network from the KWF booth.  For more details, check out the Sponsored Artist Program overview, and be sure to read the FAQ. Keep your subspace radios listening and join our mailing list to hear the latest.

We're looking for an early-career, talented artist who could make their break at Con. Do you know this person? Could it be you? Go boldly, be creative, and be inspired. Get in touch with us.

​More to follow next week!
