Sculpture Evergreen 21st Annual Sculpture Walk

Sculpture Evergreen has established a program of public art acquisition to beautify open spaces and public buildings in Evergreen, CO, in the foothills west of Denver. The annual Sculpture Walk, initiated in 1999, is a juried exhibition of up to 16 large sculptures suitable for outdoor display. All works must be original. Accepted sculptures will be on display for one year, from June 6, 2020 through June 5, 2021.

Eligibility and Requirements: Sculptures must be at least 4 feet tall, with pieces between 4-12 feet in height having the best chance of selection. All sculptures must be soundly and professionally constructed to withstand wind gusts up to 90 mph. Sculptures must have a steel mounting plate for welding to a pedestal, have another suitable attachment method, or be of sufficient weight and durability to be safely placed on the ground without toppling or unauthorized removal. The $30 entry fee includes submission of up to 3 pieces. For each submitted sculpture, 3 photos must be provided: front, rear, and detail. Accepted works must be identical to the images submitted.

Awards and Sales: A stipend of $700 will be awarded for each accepted sculpture. There is also a Juried Award of $1,000 for artistic excellence and a People's Choice Award voted upon by the public. All sculptures will be listed for sale in a published brochure and on the website. Sculpture Evergreen receives a 25% commission on any sales during the Sculpture Walk. Since inception, more than 35 pieces have been purchased for inclusion in Sculpture Evergreen's permanent collection. Artists will be notified of acceptance by phone in mid-February 2020.
