2021 Art on Parade - Northglenn, CO

Northglenn Arts is conducting an open entry competition to select six sculptures for the "Art on Parade" on-loan sculpture program. 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 2021 and remaining on display until May 2022.

Each of the six finalists will receive a $750 honorarium. An additional $1,000 will be awarded to the recipient of the annual "People's Choice Award." All pieces must be for sale. Since the program's inception in 2001, the Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation has purchased each People's Choice winning sculpture, with the goal of acquiring permanent art for the City of Northglenn.

Submitted sculptures must be garden-sized or larger (at least three feet in one dimension) and valued at no more than $32,500. Sculptures must be completed before the submission deadline and ready for outdoor installation, capable of being welded to a 1/4" steel plate or mounted using a system with no less than 3/8" bolts (minimum three-point bolting system required). Durable outdoor mediums are acceptable; submissions must withstand outdoor elements and abuse. No hanging sculptures, wooden sculptures, or water features are permitted. 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; if submitting more than one, the highest scoring will be considered. 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. Northglenn Arts will promote the art through local and regional media and develop a full-color brochure describing the sculptures. Submissions must be made via the CaFE website at www.callforentry.org. For additional information, contact Director Michael Stricker at (303) 450-8727 or [email protected].
