Liberty, MO Rotating Sculpture Call Sept 2026-Sept 2027

Up to nine sculptures will be selected and on display September 2026 - September 2027 in Downtown Liberty, MO. A $2,000 honorarium will be paid to artists selected.

If you wish to submit more than one piece of art, you must do so via separate applications. You can submit up to 5 different pieces, via 5 separate applications. Liberty’s Public Art Sculpture Program is a way to expand a permanent collection of public art by featuring additional pieces that would be on display for a limited period of time. All work entered must be freestanding and resilient to variant temperatures and outdoor elements as it will be displayed outdoors for long-term public display. Selected artists will receive a $2,000 honorarium as well as public recognition and an opportunity for sales. The City of Liberty has the option to purchase at least one piece of art from the art pieces on display each cycle, which would become a part of the City’s permanent art collection. The purchase price may be up to $20,000.
