The Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) and the City of Palmdale’s Public Art Division are thrilled to announce the next iteration of Antelopes on Parade! Antelopes on Parade celebrates the richness of the Antelope Valley region by inviting local artists to create original artworks on fiberglass antelope sculptures. This year’s selection committee will select two antelope designs (two for the City of Lancaster and two for the City of Palmdale) to be produced by local artists and put on display throughout the two cities at locations to be determined. Completed antelope sculptures will make their debut and be on display at the Kaleidoscope Art and Music Festival October 11-12

ONLY ONLINE SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. See "Submittal" below for more information.

The Lancaster Museum of Art and History and the City of Palmdale's Public Art Division will only be accepting entries online through callforentry.org (CaFE). Artists must create a free account with CaFE in order to submit their work. To create an account, please click on "Artist Sign Up" in the upper right hand corner of the CaFE website.  Once their account has been created, artists will be able to search for "Antelopes on Parade!" To submit, all artists must download the Antelopes on Parade! template on which their designs must be made. To download the template, click on "View Site Details" above. Artists must submit their designs on this template for consideration. Complete template design submissions must have both front and back views completed. Optional: one additional, supplemental image, showing details or other important design elements, may also be submitted. Artists may then upload their completed template (including any additional image) and pay all applicable fees. Antelope sculptures are made of fiberglass. Submitting artists should be aware of, and/or have experience in, manipulating this material, and must purchase any necessary personal protection equipment for the safe completion of the project.

Artists may submit a maximum of two separate applications for consideration. All submissions are subject to the appropriate fees as described below
