Sculpture On Loan

The Sculpture Walk at Carmichael Park is part of the City's Eye for Art Sculpture-on-Loan Program. Artists are invited to display their outdoor sculptures in this 12-month exhibit. Five sculptures will be selected and the artist of each will receive a $500 honorarium at placement. In addition, $1,000 will be awarded for a public-voted "Brighton's Choice" award, as well as possible purchasing by the public and/or the City. To date, the program has sold eight sculptures located throughout the City.

All sculptures submitted for consideration must be available for delivery and installation by or before September 15, 2022 and remain on display until August 2023. The artist is responsible for making arrangements to transport and install their work and must provide tools and equipment needed for installation including extension cords. Sculptures will be installed outside and exposed to the elements, including harsh sun, high winds, wide fluctuations in temperatures, and moisture. The sculpture should be safe for interaction with the public, especially children. Maximum weight must not exceed 1,000 pounds. Fragile, vulnerable or inappropriate work will not be considered. Recommended minimum 3 feet tall. Visual presence is essential. The sculptures will be viewed from all angles and must be sized to allow for installation and proper proportion on the existing pads and pedestals.

Quality of the work will be juried to ensure professional, diverse and attractive styles. Applicants must submit 1-5 images. The application deadline is August 15, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. MDT. This opportunity is open to national artists.
