REQUIREMENTS: Images: 3 The Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation (NAHF) is conducting an open entry competition to select six sculptures ─ valued at no more than $20,000 each ─ to be part of Northglenn’s “Art on Parade” on-loan sculpture program. The selected pieces will be installed for a period of one year at E.B. Rains Jr Memorial Park surrounding Webster Lake in Northglenn, Colorado. Each of the six finalists will receive a $500 honorarium to help offset expenses to the artists. In addition, $1,000 will be awarded to the artist who is the recipient of the annual “People’s Choice Award.” Artists will receive substantial recognition and opportunity to sell; therefore, all pieces must be for sale. The placement of selected pieces will begin in late May and will be on display until May 2010. Since the program’s inception in 2001, the NAHF has purchased each of the People’s Choice winning sculptures. Although the purchase of the People’s Choice winner is not guaranteed, it is the goal of the Foundation to purchase permanent art for the City of Northglenn through the program. Submitted sculptures are to be garden-sized or larger (at least three feet in one dimension recommended) and valued at no more than $20,000. Pieces must be ready for outdoor installation and have the capability to be welded to a 1/4" steel plate for installation. A less preferable method for installation would be to use a mounting system using no less than 3/8” bolts. If using the bolt system, a minimum of a three point bolting system is required. Any durable outdoor medium is acceptable. It is imperative that submissions withstand the elements and abuse of an outdoor display. Wood will not be accepted. Hanging sculpture will not be accepted. Please submit three images of ONE sculpture: two images clearly showing the front and backside of the sculpture; one other showing detail. Be sure to show the scale of the work. NOTE: A second CaFE registration profile and application will be required for submission. In addition, you will need to upload a new set of images to each of your profiles. Registration content is not transferable from one account to another. Return to CaFE Registration (https://www.callforentry.org/register_info.php) to start a new profile. Edition sizes over 50 will not be accepted. Insurance will be provided by the City of Northglenn. All works will be screened to ensure artistic merit and appropriateness for outdoor display. A committee of local citizens, businesses, and NAHF members will select the sculptures to be displayed. Sculptures will be installed late May to early June and will remain on display one year unless sold or prior arrangements are made. The NAHF will be responsible for working with local and regional media to promote the art. A full-color brochure describing the sculptures will be developed and distributed to interested citizens and visitors. All submissions, including .jpg formatted photos, must be submitted via the CaFE website. For additional information, please contact Michael Stricker at (303) 450-8727 or by email at mstricker@northglenn.org. Deadline for submission is March 31, 2010. The NAHF, founded in 1990, provides funding for quality youth theatre, public art, and other cultural endeavors in the Denver, Colorado area’s north metro communities. |
