ArtAround Roswell 2018 Sculpture Tour

The City of Roswell, Georgia invites artists to submit proposals of existing outdoor artworks for consideration for ArtAround Roswell 2018, a temporary sculpture tour to be installed at various outdoor sites throughout the city. Ten outdoor sculptures will be selected and installed in key locations throughout the city park system and historical downtown Roswell. The exhibition will run from April 14, 2018 through March 1, 2019, with installation anticipated to be completed during March 2018.

ArtAround Roswell seeks artwork that captures the spirit and brand of Roswell, is compelling for residents and visitors, and connects to the cultural energy of the various neighborhoods and city. At least one piece of sculpture will be purchased as a permanent work of art for the City of Roswell by the Roswell Arts Fund. Additionally, two cash awards will be presented to the top two favorite sculptures in the amounts of $500.00 and $250.00 respectively. There is no entry fee. Artists will receive a $2,500 stipend for the loan of their work, paid in two installments ($1,250 at installation and $1,250 at deinstallation). All sculptures are for sale to the general public unless otherwise stated, but must remain installed for the entirety of the eleven-month exhibition. A sales commission of 30% will go to the Roswell Arts Fund for all sculptures sold during the tour.

This call is open to all professional artists and artist teams. Students enrolled in degree programs are not eligible. Applicants must be 18 or older. Artwork must be original, one-of-a-kind work. Each artist may submit up to three artworks for consideration, with each piece requiring a separate application. Submissions must include 2 to 10 images. The submission deadline is October 5, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. MDT. Artist notification is scheduled for October 27, 2017.
