The Allied Arts Council and the City of Saint Joseph, Missouri seek sculptures to be placed in Downtown Saint Joseph. Regional, national, and international sculpture artists are invited to submit work for this one-year sculpture exhibition scheduled from June 2019-May 2020. Selected sculptures/sculptors will receive a $500 honorarium. Cash awards for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will be awarded at the June 14 reception.  The People's Choice award is announced in February each year.

The Allied Arts Council will purchase a sculpture to become a permanent part of Saint Joseph’s public art collection. Only pieces priced $15,000 or less will be considered for purchase. The Allied Arts Council will receive a 25% commission on any sculpture sold and on any commissioned sculptures.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: February 1, 2019

Submission details: Artists must own the rights to the artwork and the sculpture must be available for the duration of the one-year contract. All submissions must be professionally constructed of durable materials that will withstand the elements. All durable outdoor media are encouraged. Please attach three images per submission that clearly show a front and back view and one detail shot. Artists may submit up to four (4) sculptures for consideration, but each submission must have its own entry.  Please give all dimensions and a stated insurance value for the artwork. There are presently no restrictions on size; however, artists should be aware that sculptures will be placed within well-traveled streetscapes. The installation method for each sculpture should be welded tabs or similar easy-install method.

Selected artists are responsible for the transportation of the artwork to and from the installation site. The Allied Arts Council is responsible for all costs for materials and workmanship for the initial installation of the artwork, including site preparation, plinth, and clean up. Additionally, the Allied Arts Council will provide up to $5,000 in liability insurance and inland marine (collision and comprehensive) insurance coverage on all sculptures for the duration of the exhibition.
