Call Description

We are already known as the City of Living Trees because of our amazing hand-carved tree sculptures but we've been working hard to grow and expand our art scene in our Colorado certified Creative District. This year we are looking for at least one of the two sculptures to touch on Colorado history or a patriotic theme for the 150/250 Colorado/USA anniversary celebration. Sculpture in Sterling is our way of bringing new and exciting sculptures and artists. We hope you will consider being a part of our second year as a sculpture on loan community. 

Application Requirements

Please submit 2 different images for each sculpture you submit for consideration. (Please DO NOT send more than 2 pictures for each sculpture. Entries that only have one picture are considered incomplete.)

* Each artist may submit up to 3 different sculptures. 

* Each piece of art submitted must be at least 4 feet tall and have a metal plate adhered to its base. Your metal plate will be welded to the metal plate on our plinth. Your plate must be able to fit on an 8' x 4' plinth.

* Installation will be on Saturday, October 5, 2024. Artist or artist representative must be present to install sculpture. No exceptions will be made. 

*Please do not submit sculptures that will not fit on the aforementioned plinths, art installations or sculptures that are committed to another program.

Thank you for consideration of this program!
