Polaroid and Oxygen Media in Action
From Tuesday, January 6th to Thursday, January 8th, Polaroid will host two contestants, Annie Preece and Solomon Perry, from Oxygen Media’s upcoming, adrenaline-charged competition series “Street Art Throwdown,” which premieres Tuesday, February 3 at 9 PM ET/PT. World-renowned street artist Justin BUA serves as host, co-judge and executive producer on the show, which pits 10 of the country’s most promising artists against one another. The Polaroid brand was an inspiration behind one of the show’s “Throwdown” challenges, in which contestants were asked to create a mural depicting what the iconic lifestyle brand means to them. Contestants were also encouraged to utilize iconic imagery that is representative of the brand, such as the Polaroid Color Spectrum and Polaroid Classic Border Logo. In the booth at CES, the two contestants will be creating visually striking street art again making use of these themes and iconic images, making for quite an intriguing experience for passersby and fans.
