Sculpture on the Move

The Creative Communities Alliance (CCA) is a coalition of municipal and nonprofit organizations dedicated to the development of community arts in the St. Louis and surrounding Missouri region extending all the way to Kansas City to the west and Poplar Bluff to the south.

The Creative Communities Alliance is accepting applications for the 2021 round of Sculpture on the Move, which will install approximately 20 sculptures for prominent display in outdoor, public areas across the region. Sculptures will be installed in spring 2021 for a period of two years, at which point artists can resubmit their work to be selected for another location within the regional display. Artists may submit multiple works and may have multiple works selected across the participating communities. Each of the 20 municipalities/communities will select at least one sculpture from the pool of submissions. After selection, a representative from that community will work directly with the artist to finalize the contract, payment schedule, delivery, and installation dates. All artists will be contacted regarding their submissions after February 16th, 2021.

Winning artists will be awarded $1,000 per year for two years for each sculpture selected, totaling $2,000 per sculpture. Entry fee is $10.00. Open to all artists living in the United States. Each work must fit on a 4ft x 4ft concrete pad. Artists must agree that submitted work is original work created by the artist within the past ten years. Artists may sell the work during the project period, but the work must remain on site for the duration of the exhibition. All work must be ready for installation upon delivery, and the artist accepts responsibility for delivering and retrieving work on dates as agreed upon in the final contract. Submit 1-20 images of your work.
