The Kalamazoo Institute of Arts is working with an advertising company to give 10 artists who live or have studios in Kalamazoo County the chance to use billboards around western Michigan as a canvas of sorts.

The museum is working with Adams Outdoor Advertising on the contest. A panel will pick 20 candidates and the public will vote to select the winners. Billboards featuring their work will rotate among sites for a year starting in May. The deadline to apply is March 14.
 
The museum also is holding a T-shirt design contest for the 2011 Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Art Fair, which takes place June 3-4. It's the 60th year for the event. The deadline is March 1.
