NYLO Hotels announces a new art competition to find a few local artists to produce original artwork to adorn the corridors and guest rooms of their new hotel in Warwick, RI at Pontiac Mills.  The hotel is located on the Pawtuxet River at the northeast corner of Greenwich Avenue and Knight Street.  The contest is open to everyone and particularly they hope to attract the interests of up and coming local artists and art students.  The contest will run from November 1, 2007- March 1, 2008. 
The contest will have two major categories under which artwork may be submitted, guest rooms and corridor artwork.  Guest room artwork should be composed of acrylic, oil or mixed media and the corridor category is reserved for photography.  There are some restrictions on size and content, for a complete set of rules please contact Amanda Emmo at aemmo@nylohotels.com.
Prizes for the winners varies from $2,250- $750.  Several additional perks to winning include, but are not limited to, a gallery showing at Pontiac Mills across from the location of the hotel, a personal invitation to the opening part of NYLO at Warwick, artwork on display in the hotel and on the NYLO website with credit given to the artists and potential additional profit from sale of artwork.
