2015 Art on Parade - Northglenn, CO

Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation (NAHF) 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 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 $700 honorarium to help offset their expenses. 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, 2015 and will be on display until May, 2016.

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) and valued at no more than $25,000.  The sculpture must be completed before submission deadline.

Pieces must be ready for outdoor installation and have the capability to be welded to a 1/4" steel plate for installation.  Another method for installation is 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. 

Durable outdoor medium is acceptable.  It is imperative that submissions withstand the elements and abuse of an outdoor display.  No hanging sculptures, wooden sculptures, or water features.

Please submit three images of ONE sculpture: two images clearly showing the front and back of the sculpture; one other showing detail.  Be sure to show the scale of the work.  NOTE: Multiple sculpture submissions are allowed. You must create a Café profile and registration for each piece submitted.  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.

The six sculptures chosen must represent six different artists.  If submitting more than one sculpture, the highest scoring sculpture will be considered.

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, students and NAHF members will select the sculptures to be displayed.

Sculptures will be installed late May to early June and will remain on display for 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 at https://www.callforentry.org/index.php. Videos are also accepted when mailed or emailed to the Director.  For additional information, please contact Director Michael Stricker at (303) 450-8727 or by email at mstricker@northglenn.org.  11801 Community Center Drive, Northglenn CO 80233.

Deadline for submission is February 27, 2015.

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.  The Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) provides major funding for Art On Parade.

Sharjah Art Foundation 2014 – Production Programme: open call for MENASA region artist grants

Description:

Sharjah Art Foundation announces the 2014 Production Programme Open Call for grants to artists working in a range of media. Up to $200,000 is available in this application cycle. 

The Sharjah Art Foundation (SAF) Production Programme broadens the possibilities for the production of art in the MENASA region through a commitment to support innovation and excellence in artistic practice by encouraging risk and experimentation. This commitment places artists at the core of the Foundation’s mission by offering grants and professional support for the realisation of projects selected from an open call for proposals.

The past decade has seen an extraordinary rise in artistic activity throughout the Middle East, resulting in an increased visibility for artists both regionally and internationally. Within this context, the Foundation hopes to promote and encourage an environment of public and private patronage for the highest level of artistic endeavour. This programme focuses on supporting artists in their individual attempts to create work on a scale they have perhaps never imagined possible.

Arts practitioners are invited to propose imaginative, ambitious and inspirational projects that will transform our understanding of what art is and how it can be experienced. With this initiative we hope to engage and challenge the artists, our audiences and ourselves aesthetically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, politically or in ways new and unexpected.

In 2014 we are offering production grants to artists working in a range of media including sculpture, installation, time-based media, artist’s books and performance. Up to a total of $200,000 is available in this application cycle. The success of a proposal will be determined by merit rather than budget. To this end, projects with budgets that range from modest to ambitious scales will be considered. The submission deadline is 31 January 2014 and selections will be announced in March. The selected projects will be developed and produced by the artist and the Sharjah Art Foundation, with presentation of the completed project as agreed between the artist(s) and SAF.
The Production Programme was launched in 2008. Over 500 submissions have been received, 230 applications considered and 31 projects selected for production.
This document should give you all the information you need to know to apply for the 2014 Production Programme. Please read it carefully before you complete the attached application form. If you have any further questions, please direct them to productionprogramme@sharjahart.org.

SoftControl Competition

•Application Deadline

09.12.2012

This call for entries is open for proposals which will mark the Museum’s presence in its neighbourhood, abandoning traditional commemorative approaches and permanent sculptural solutions, transforming ‘passive’ narratives into physical and symbolic presence, by concentrating on current social issues and relations or connecting with everyday life practice on the borderline between public and private, facts and fiction.

In the sense of media, the project supports performative and participatory works, urban interventions and outdoor installations whose audience – users or participants – cannot be predetermined. What is required: to explore approaches which use the public space to open and address the public which does not belong to the standard circuit of art events, but includes passers-by, neighbours, current visitors of streets and squares. By treating physical and symbolic distances between the artist / artwork and different ‘publics’.

Project description: Spajalica/Copula

CALL FOR ENTRIES FOR THE PROJECT Spajalica>Copula
SOFTCONTROL 2012-2015

http://www.softcontrol.info/

Starting from the often mentioned detachment of the museum zone, displacement from the public space as a consequence of involvement in programmatic tasks of collecting and safekeeping, this project raises the question of the manner of reactivating the public space and the artist’s presence in it.
In the wake of the initiative for different regulation of social space and leisure time, this project is interested in contemporary art practices which disturb the status quo and underline concealed, transposed or neglected contents in urban environment, regardless of the approach or medium the artists use.

Artist-Investigator Project: Call for Proposals

We’re looking for artists who want to investigate, who are curious to invent, discover, or refine a particular way of working. You don’t need to be an artist whose work is primarily based in performance but there does need to be a performative component to either your process or outcome. Theater, dance, performance, and visual artists, multi-disciplinary artists and artists exploring social practice are all invited to apply.

Deadline : 3rd December 2012

http://www.thetrianglelab.org/artist-investigator-project-call-for-proposals/

Triangle Lab experiments seek to expand who participates in theater-making and how they participate, seeking to discover new models for a theater that is relevant, inclusive, and responsive to our communities. We’re interested in exploring new forms, imagining different performance spaces, and rewriting the rules for how audiences and performers interact, We aim for theaters, artists and communities to become equal partners in discovering and sharing the profound stories of our times, challenging notions about the performer/spectator divide. We expect our experiments to yield new stories and new ways of telling them, new methods for applying theatrical tools to community challenges, and a broad range of participants engaged together in understanding our communities.
