Los Angeles, CA – April 6, 2012 -BritWeek, in association with CLPROJECTS and Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk, is pleased to announce that the inaugural year of the BritWeek T4C Artists Competition is now underway.  Over 100 competition pieces will be on display to the public, surveying what's happening in the London and Los Angeles contemporary art scenes.

T4C ("Thank You For Creating") is an open contemporary art competition that draws together a wide range of new and recent artworks encompassing paintings, sculpture, photography, printmaking and video art, giving artists of all levels the opportunity to showcase their works first regionally then, to the world. 

This year, T4C celebrates the 2012 Summer Games by promoting the spirit of unified competition amongst the British and Angeleno arts communities and has set forth the challenge to all entrants to create original works that communicate the theme of this year's Olympics On Sustainability.

The exhibition runs from April 12 - 28, 2012 at the historic Farmers & Merchants Bank in Downtown Los Angeles.  An esteemed panel of judges, as well as the public at large, will cast their votes to decide which of the winning artworks will be flown to London for the T4C Finalists Exhibition, in August 2012. 

T4C is also proud to announce the unveiling of the 'Plinth of Peace'  that stood on London's Parliament Square since 2009, via our partners  Art Below in London.

Since November 2010 Art Below has been working with Peace campaigner and founder of the plinth Maria Gallastegui to encourage artists to present works that promote peace and an end to war.  The plinth has attracted attention from national press featuring the works of artists including 3D Prop maker Schoony, Street Artist T.W.A.T., Portraiture artist Johan Andersson, photographer Emma Stoner, and ArtWars.

The Awards Ceremony on April 26, 2012 is set to be a high-profile media event, featuring an unprecedented 'Art Battle' between some of the most notorious names in the London and Los Angeles street and graffiti art scenes.
