Hopkins ArtStreet 25-26

Hopkins ArtStreet is a select, juried public art display centered on historic Main Street in Hopkins, MN (15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis). Accepted artwork is displayed for approximately one year (May to May). The goal of the ongoing ArtStreet project is to present permanent and rotating original public art that celebrates Hopkins' vital and diverse community in an accessible setting.

This exhibition is open to established and emerging artists working in all outdoor-tolerant media. All entries must be original works by the submitting artist. Artworks must be durable enough to withstand outdoor elements for one year with minimal maintenance and be at least 18" tall. Works must pose no hazard to patrons, including the sight impaired, physically disabled, or children, and must be appropriate for a family audience. Works must be insured by the artist. Selected artists will receive a $1,000 stipend to offset transportation and travel/hotel expenses and must be present at installation. Larger works (greater than 4' in one dimension) and interactive, reflective, kinetic, or otherwise engaging artworks are encouraged.

Artists may submit up to 5 entries. Each entry requires 3 images of a single work ($25 for the first entry, $5 for each additional entry using coupon code addapp25). Awards include a Judges' Award ($1,000), People's Choice Award ($300), and Children's Choice Award ($300). All pieces will be actively marketed for sale, with ArtStreet retaining a 30% commission on sold pieces. Jury results will be notified by March 11, 2025. Accepted works will be installed in May 2025 (dates TBD). Contact Jim Clark at [email protected] for questions about display methods or other details.
