2017 Art on Parade - Northglenn, CO

Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation (NAHF) is conducting an open entry competition to select six sculptures to be part of Northglenn's "Art on Parade" on-loan sculpture program. The selected pieces will be installed for one year at E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park surrounding Webster Lake in Northglenn, Colorado, with placement beginning in late May 2017 and display continuing until May 2018.

Each of the six finalists will receive a $750 honorarium. An additional $1,000 will be awarded to the artist who receives the annual "People's Choice Award." All pieces must be for sale. Since the program's inception in 2001, the NAHF has purchased each of the People's Choice winning sculptures, though purchase is not guaranteed.

Submitted sculptures must be garden-sized or larger (at least three feet in one dimension) and valued at no more than $25,000. Sculptures must be completed before the submission deadline and ready for outdoor installation. Installation methods include welding to a 1/4" steel plate or a mounting system using no less than 3/8" bolts with a minimum three-point bolting system. Durable outdoor medium is required; no hanging sculptures, wooden sculptures, or water features are accepted. Edition sizes over 25 will not be accepted. Submit three images of one sculpture: two showing front and back, and one showing detail with scale indicated. Multiple sculpture submissions are allowed, but only the highest scoring sculpture will be considered if submitting more than one. The six sculptures chosen must represent six different artists. All works will be screened for artistic merit and appropriateness for outdoor display by a committee of local citizens, businesses, students, and NAHF members. The NAHF will promote the art through local and regional media and develop a full-color brochure describing the sculptures.
