Triage Wines, a wine importer and distributor working in Washington & Oregon, is hosting an art competition to find 5 artists in the Seattle and Portland areas to design and paint the company’s delivery vans. Triage specializes in natural, organic, and biodynamic wines from traditional European and European-inspired producers. “The company is looking for artists to help the company express the portfolio’s specific focus in an artistic and memorable way, said Triage’s Marketing Director, David Baer. “While our logo is lovely and all, we want people to know that our business is about promoting natural wines, often farmed by organic or biodynamic methods, which are hand made and express the heritage and specificity of the place from which they come. The logo simply doesn’t say all of that – but we think there are some wine-loving masterful artists out there who can!”

Interested artists can apply to design and paint one of five vans, transforming it into mobile art. In addition to having their work selected, each artist will win $350 worth of wine from the Triage portfolio and will receive a $100 stipend toward materials. Interested artists can submit sketches via email to baer@triagewines.com. All applicants must include their name and phone number as well. Only applicants in the Seattle and Portland metro areas will be considered. Entries must be received no later than March 15, 2010, and work will take place between April and September 2010.
