Design submissions for credit union’s giant letters due March 31
LAFCU is reimagining its letters once again, providing an opportunity for five Michigan artists to share their artwork with a large, diverse, public audience.
The 6-foot-tall letters appear at LAFCU-sponsored and other community events, and are favorite subjects and backgrounds for photos posted on social media.
Artists can submit a design concept for one of the letters to LAFCU through Friday, March 31. Information is at www.lafcu.com/art.
Reimaging the exhibit supports LAFCU S.E.R.V.E.S., an initiative that helps those who are unbanked and underbanked achieve financial security. Design submissions should be based on one or more of the initiative’s concepts:
– People Helping People – credit union philosophy
– Statewide – LAFCU’s service territory
– Vertical credit card
– “Outgrown Your Home” mortgage
– “Now Can We Get a New Roof” home equity line of credit
Each of the five winning artists receives $250 and reimbursement up to $100 for latex paint. They will use their own equipment to paint their assigned letter together with the other artists.
The promotional letters, which cumulatively span 35 feet, were introduced in a television commercial in 2016. The same year, five Michigan artists transformed the letters into a traveling art exhibit that’s been seen by thousands.
