ART 2C on Havana 2014

The City of Aurora Art in Public Places Program and The Havana Business Improvement District are seeking outdoor sculpture for exhibition on Havana Street for one year, with installation scheduled for early October 2014. This is the fourth year of the sculpture exhibition and competition, part of a collaboration to attract visitors, energize streetscapes, and create public gathering places.

Sculpture Requirements: Three-dimensional freestanding sculpture of any medium suitable for outdoor placement. Minimum 4 feet tall and 100 lbs.; maximum 14 feet tall and 4,000 lbs.

All sculptures must be attached to a steel plate bolted to a concrete base, unless other design considerations are more appropriate.

Artist Compensation: Exhibiting artists will receive a $1,000 stipend for transportation and installation. Sculptures may be purchased for the City's public art collection. Cash awards are provided by the Havana Business Improvement District: People's Choice $1,000, 1st Place $750, 2nd Place $500, 3rd Place $250.
