2023 Art on Parade - Northglenn, CO

Northglenn Arts 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 May 2023 and display continuing until May 2024.

Each of the six finalists will receive a $1,000 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 to continue purchasing 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). Submissions must withstand outdoor elements and abuse. No hanging sculptures, foam sculptures, or water features are accepted. Edition sizes over 50 will not be accepted. Any subject matter already represented in Northglenn's permanent collection will not be accepted. Submit three images of one sculpture showing front, back, and detail with scale clearly visible. Multiple sculptures may be submitted separately, but only the highest scoring sculpture will be considered. A committee of local residents, businesses, students, and NAHF members will select sculptures based on artistic merit and appropriateness for outdoor display.
