2020 Sculpture in the Square - Old Town Fort Collins

Old Town Square is nestled amongst historic buildings in Old Town Fort Collins and is home to weekly concerts in the summer and year-round festivals, shopping, and dining. The goal is to expose the citizens of Fort Collins to quality art and artists, to compensate artists, and to help promote their talents.

Six sculptures will be chosen for a year-long outdoor exhibit installed on Saturday, April 25th, 2020. Each selected artist will receive a $1,000 honorarium, and one artist will be awarded a $750 People's Choice Award. All artists and a guest are invited to join for lunch on installation day. If artwork is sold while on loan, the organizers will retain a 10% commission.

The call accepts highly durable and resilient sculptures of any media from artists nationwide. Each sculpture must be at least 4 feet tall and have a metal plate adhered to its base that can fit on a 2' x 2' or 3' x 3' plinth. Each artist may submit up to 3 pieces, with 2 images required per sculpture (maximum 6 total images). Installation is on Saturday, April 25th, 2020, and the artist or artist representative must be present to install the sculpture.
