Hopkins ArtStreet 22-23

Hopkins ArtStreet is a select, juried public art display centered on historic Main Street in Hopkins, MN (15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis). Artists working in all outdoor-tolerant media are invited to apply. Accepted artwork is displayed for approximately one year (May to May).

The exhibition is open to established and emerging artists working in all media that can withstand outdoor public display. Each artist may submit up to 5 entries, with 1 artwork per entry. Artists must submit 3 images of a single work per entry (different views in space for sculptors, detail images for 2D artists). Entry fee is $20 for the first entry and $5 for each additional entry. Artworks must be original works by the submitting artist, durable enough to withstand year-long outdoor display with minimal maintenance, at least 18" tall, pose no hazard to patrons, be appropriate for a family audience, and be insured by the artist. Larger works (greater than 4' in one dimension) and interactive, reflective, or kinetic artworks are encouraged. Selected artists will receive a $1,000 stipend to offset transportation and travel/hotel expenses and must be present at installation on May 24, 2022.

Awards include a Judges' Award ($1,000), People's Choice Award ($300), and Children's Choice Award ($300). Jurors may recommend one piece for purchase into the ArtStreet permanent collection. All pieces will be actively marketed for sale, with ArtStreet retaining a 30% commission on sold pieces. Participants will be notified of jury results by March 13, 2022.
