Heads up for all aspiring artists, long standing mega brand Polo Jeans Co.Ralph Lauren are shaking things up with Art Stars - a competition that brings unknowns together with the art world’s big wigs.

With the only requirement for submissions being that it be inspired by American imagery, artists can come up with whatever they want in any experimental medium they choose to be up for the chance to win a place in a weeklong mentorship program. Not bad, the chance to hang out with Jasper Joffe in his studio doesn’t come up that often. The lucky chosen also get a commission-based award for their time, with their pieces popping up in UK, Spain, Germany and France in window displays and in-store exhibitions.

With Alex One and Case also confirmed for the program, Art Stars is shaping up to be pretty impressive. Judges for the competition are still hush hush but let’s just say they include the museum and magazine world’s head honchos. On the 12th of this month Case will be giving a lecture in Berlin and Alex One is speaking in Paris on the 13th. Both are free entry so make sure you don’t miss out.

You have till 4th February to submit your work. Till then, here’s a video of Jasper Joffe’s recent talk at the RCA to whet your appetite. It’s a condensed version of his 40 min long lecture but don’t fret about missing out - you could be hearing him speak face to face soon. Good luck.
