The Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago, The Illinois Institute of Art – Schaumburg, The Illinois Institute of Art – Tinley Park and The Art Institute of Wisconsin are excited to announce that they will be partnering with the promoters of the 2012 North Coast Music Festival. Students from the schools will contribute creative services to Chicago’s third annual North Coast Music Festival: summer’s last stand.

Central to the creative partnership, students of the 4 schools will embark on a series of creative challenges focused on creating merchandise design (official fest t-shirt and poster), an animated visual, official fest video teaser, and a fashion challenge.  Upon completion, the winning student work will be utilized before and during North Coast Music Festival weekend, August 31- Sep 2, 2012.

The winning students’ work  will also be displayed on www.northcoastfestival.com , www.reactpresents.com, www.exactevents.com , and an email blast reaching over 200K subscribers, plus, it will be shared over various other social media platforms and digital channels.
