My Wendy’s, My Way Hits Dallas-Fort Worth

Posted on August 5th, 2008 in Uncategorized by AiDallas

  

Art Institute of Dallas students Andrea Maiella and Will Tran participated in the My Wendy’s, My Way Art Contest on May 7 in

Fort Worth. The contest is part of Wendy’s Great Taste Tour, which stops in 23 cities across the country. In each city, a selected organization will choose a local artist to design their version of Wendy, giving her local flair that is unique to the location. Fort Worth is the first and only stop in

Texas, and Andrea and Will receive $2500 just for entering the contest. 

At the end of the tour in December, the entries from across the country will be judged and the winning artist will receive $25,000. The winning organization (in this case, The Art Institute of Dallas) will also receive $25,000 if their artist is chosen. 

Andrea and Will worked diligently on their piece from 10 am-2 pm, braving rainy weather and putting the finishing touches on their collaborative design. Wendy’s mobile kitchen served up 1,000 complimentary hamburgers and passed out gift cards and other prizes.  Wendy’s Great Taste Tour  will continue on to

Kansas City.
