About This Call
Buffalo Trace Distillery is seeking artists to create a custom art installation/sculpture to be displayed on the distillery grounds. The project will utilize wood slices ("lily pads") from the Single Oak Project, ranging from 12 inches wide to 6 inches thick, along with large limestone boulders available onsite. Additional materials may be used at the artist's expense.
The sculpture should reinforce the distillery's theme with ideas including a buffalo, barrel, or oak tree. The artwork must be sturdy and weather resistant, with dimensions comparable to the existing Thunder sculpture (approximately 7' x 5' x 5'). The all-inclusive project budget is $20,000. Buffalo Trace will provide materials from the Single Oak Project.
Proposals are due by June 30, 2016. Artists will be notified on July 21, 2016, with artwork to be completed by October 15, 2016. Required materials include a letter of interest, artist resume, up to 6 images of past work with title, media, dimension, price, location and year made, a rendering of the proposed sculpture with media and dimensions (up to 2 proposals), and a timeline for creation. Interested artists are welcome to visit the distillery on June 2, 2016 from 2pm–4pm to tour the site and view available materials. Contact Meredith M. Moody at 502-696-5919 or [email protected] to RSVP for the tour. No guarantee a proposal will be accepted; approval is based on the Buffalo Trace Leadership Team's decision.
