Iron Artist Challenge 2007

On August 10, 2007 Tacoma Art Museum hosted 15 teams of artists and asked who would reign supreme in the Iron Artist Challenge.

Artists had one hour to create an improvised work of art from materials choses by Tacoma Art Museum and inspired by the exhibition "Sparkle Then Fade." Celebrity judges Andy Warhol, Uncle Sam, Marilyn Monroe, and Lucille Ball judged the competition. See who reigned supreme.

Thanks to Eric Wahlquist of Media Lab at Pacific Lutheran University for taking on this project.
