Visual Arts Project
Art EMC is a special project that promotes and supports Iowa visual arts and involves EMC employees in the process. Iowa artists are invited to submit artwork (slides) that are juried by the EMC Art Committee and art experts. The selected works are displayed on the company’s intranet where EMC employees take part in the selection process by voting through an online poll. The winning artwork is purchased for EMC’s permanent art collection. The program was initiated in 2005 by the EMC Insurance Companies Art Committee. To learn more about Art EMC, read about the selected artists or view the winning artwork, visit Art EMC.
