City of Loveland: The Art Advocacy Project 2015 Sculpture

The City of Loveland Art in Public Places Program seeks sculptures to be placed in Downtown Loveland as part of The Art Advocacy Project (TAAP). This one-year sculpture exhibition is scheduled from June 2015 to June 2016. Selected artists will be awarded an honorarium of $1,000. The installed artwork may be available for sale. Since 2009, three sculptures featured during TAAP were purchased for the City's permanent art collection.

Artists must be Colorado residents and own the rights to the artwork. The sculpture must be available for the duration of the one-year contract and must be professionally constructed of durable materials that will withstand the elements. All durable outdoor media are encouraged. Sculptures will be placed within a well-traveled shopping/gallery streetscape on a 3 1/2' x 3 1/2' plinth. The installation method should be welded tabs or similar easy-install method. Selected artists are responsible for transportation of the artwork to and from the installation site. Artwork must be delivered as exhibit-ready, stable, and well-fabricated. A condition report will be completed upon delivery. There are presently no restrictions on size.

Submissions must include three images per sculpture that clearly show front and back views and one detail shot. Artists may submit up to 2 sculptures for consideration, with each submission requiring three images. All dimensions and a stated insurance value for the artwork must be provided. The City is responsible for all costs for materials and workmanship for the initial installation, including final site preparation, plinth, cleanup, and repair of any damage caused during installation. The City will insure the artwork for the duration of the exhibition. All sculptures will be listed on the Art in Public Places web pages and within all TAAP promotional material.
