Artists wanted for 2007 sculpture show
Berkshires Week
Thursday, December 14STOCKBRIDGE — Sculpture Now is currently accepting proposals from established and emerging artists for Sculpture on Main Street 2007, a juried exhibition of large, outdoor sculpture in Stockbridge. The exhibition will run from May 21 through Oct. 31, 2007.
The theme for this year's exhibition is "Shelter." Sculpture Now encourages a wide range of interpretations and offers these suggestions: Protection from weather, persecution, violence, and danger; sanctuary for spirituality, contemplation and meditation.
It is the intent to provide direct and free access to art in public places by siting the sculptures on lawns lining both sides of Main Street. The show will be integrated into the daily life of the community and be available to the thousands of visitors who come to the Berkshires every year.
The work should be suitable for long term outdoor exposure, fabricated and installed in a manner which is viewer safe, and of a scale which will be meaningful in an outdoor environment. Artists needing installation assistance with cranes and manpower should detail their requirements when submitting proposals.
Sculpture Now will provide liability insurance and insurance for the sculptures and will actively promote the show. A $400 honorarium is available if needed.
To submit, mail up to 10 slides or digital images on CD of existing work, labeled with the artist name, title of work, medium and size, an image list, and/or a visualization of site specific work, a resume (maximum three pages), contact information, and a SASE to Sculpture Now, P.O. Box 600, Becket, MA 01223. There is no submission fee.
Sculpture Now assumes no responsibility for lost or damaged applications; do not submit original art.
The deadline for submission is Jan. 31, 2007.
For more information, call (413) 623-2068, e-mail annjon@bcn.net or visit www.sculpture.org and search under portfolio/list of artists.
