Call to Artists for Sculpture Walk Springfield’s 2019-2020 Collection

Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: Sculpture Walk Springfield
Deadline: Thu, January 31st, 2019

In April 2019, Sculpture Walk Springfield will reveal to the public its 4th  annual exhibit. We hope to install 20 new sculptures. This will continue the process of creating a museum without walls with access to all in the heart of Springfield, Missouri. Each year, as our program grows, we hope to add more sculptures to our program. Sculpture Walk Springfield is a citizen driven and privately funded initiative.

Sculpture Walk Springfield is committed to playing a major role in rejuvenating Springfield’s urban downtown and bustling economy. With the mission of “creating a museum without walls for all to enjoy,” Sculpture Walk Springfield began their inaugural year in May 2016 with the installation of 13 sculptures throughout downtown. Over the past 2 years, Sculpture Walk Springfield has installed 56 sculptures in downtown Springfield. There are currently 28 sculptures installed throughout downtown Springfield. Seven of the 28 are permanent acquisitions.

Artists may submit up to two sculptures for consideration. Sculptures chosen for Sculpture Walk Springfield 2019-2020 will be on loan to the program for one year and displayed to the public for ten months. They will remain in the ownership of the artist throughout the program. Artists of selected sculptures will receive a $1,000 stipend. Insurance coverage will be provided through an arrangement with the Springfield Art Museum and the City of Springfield. All sculptures will be available for purchase to the public. Shipping will be provided on a case-by-case basis.

To submit a sculpture for the 2018-2019 exhibit visit the Call to Artists tab on our website at www.sculpturewalkspringfield.org where you will find the link to our prospectus, entry procedure information, and submission forms. In addition, our Executive Director, Nicole Brown, would be happy to answer any questions you may have. You may contact her at nbrown@sculpturewalkspringfield.org.
