Call For Entries
December 14, 2005
Northglenn, CO The Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation is conducting an open entry competition to select six sculptures ─ valued at no more than $25,000 each ─ to be part of Northglenn’s “Art on Parade” on-loan sculpture program. The winning pieces will be placed at EB Rains Junior Memorial Park surrounding Webster Lake in Northglenn, Colorado.
Each of the six finalists will receive a $500 honorarium ─ an increase of $150 over last year ─ 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 June 2006 and will be on display until May 2007.
Over the past four years, the foundation has purchased four People’s Choice award winning sculptures and one runner-up. Additionally, the NAHF has raised funds to purchase the 2005/2006 People’s Choice award winner. Together, these six pieces are valued at $68,300. 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.
For submission information, contact Michelle Nierling at (303) 450-8727 or by email at mnierling@northglenn.org. Deadline for submission is March 31, 2006.
