Art to Occupy Times Square
By ROBIN POGREBIN

Imagine a canvas at the so-called Crossroads of the World: Artists are being invited to take over the giant screens of Times Square. Chashama, an organization that supports artists, has teamed up with Artists Wanted and the Times Square Alliance to create “Art Takes Times Square,” which starts with a day of events on June 18.

The selected artworks will be shown on Nasdaq, Thomson Reuters, Clear Channel and Spectacolor signs, among others, as well as A2aMedia’s Port Authority display. Artists can submit their work for consideration here through May 25.
