2019 Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition

Indiana University East invites sculptors to participate in a 2019-2021 juried, on-loan, outdoor sculpture exhibition on the Richmond, Indiana campus. Selected artists will be awarded an honorarium of $2,500 per piece and must enter into an Art Loan Agreement with IUE.

Artists may submit up to two sculptures for consideration. Each submission must include a bio/resume, artist statement, 3 images (front, back, and 1 detail), dimensions, and stated insurance value. Artists must own the rights to the artwork and it must be available for the full two-year exhibition period. Sculptures must be ready to set on 8'x8' concrete pads using welded steel tabs or similar easy-install methods. Artwork must be constructed of durable materials to withstand year-round Indiana weather, and fragile or dangerous works will not be accepted.

Deadline for submissions is July 7, 2019. The jury will notify selected artists by July 12, 2019. Selected sculptures must be delivered between August 19-23, 2019. The exhibition runs from August 26, 2019 to July 30, 2021, with sculptures to be removed within one month of closing. Artists are responsible for transportation to and from the installation site. The university will supervise installation and insure the artwork for the duration of the exhibit. For questions, contact [email protected].
