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.

Call to artists: Look Again 2015 - North East Scotland

Practitioners from a wide spectrum of creative disciplines are invited to submit proposals for a site-specific commission to take place in Aberdeen as part of the inaugural Look Again 2015.

Introduction - Look Again - ‘Forging Creative Connections’ Look Again 2015 is a five-day focus on visual art and design taking place in Aberdeen, Scotland. The festival will commence on Wednesday 8 April and will continue until Sunday 12 April, working with various partners and across a variety of venues and locations.

Our ambition is for Look Again to grow and develop into a larger annual festival that will showcase the very best in visual art and design in North East Scotland.

Artist Brief – ‘Look at Me!’

Deadline: 07 December 2014 at 17:00

Aberdeen’s city centre has a diverse range of sculptures. These range from traditional to contemporary and perform many functions, such as commemoration, memorial and remembrance, as well as the expression of ideas. As part of the festivals first years focus on visual arts and design we are interested in applicants responding to the traditional figurative statues, which form part of an existing sculpture trail within Aberdeen city.

We believe these monuments have become like wallpaper to the residents of Aberdeen and through a new and inspiring piece of public art we wish to highlight their historical references, unheard stories and lively anecdotes.

These creative interventions will re-engage our residents with this trail; becoming tourists in their own city. Many of these public sculptures date from the 19th century, and artists, when developing their proposal, may wish to reflect on how modern considerations of ethnicity and gender balance could be addressed in their projects.

We would like to invite applicants to design elements for the sculptures that are a new creative intervention and will redress these monuments; this can take the form of oversized jewellery, a complete textile wrap, a change of colour. It is up to the individual or group to create an intervention that will engage the general public to look again at an existing historical sculpture.

This opportunity is open to all artists, designers as well as creative thinkers and makers. We have identified seven sculptures within Aberdeen city centre and one site has been earmarked for applicants to engage and work with a community or group, to develop the project and together redress the piece of public art. We welcome applications from individuals, groups and collectives and each applicant can apply for more than one site or all the sites.

Budget

*A total budget of £13,800.00 is available for 6 of the commissions.

(Each site has a budget of £2300.00)

*Community Engagement Commission - £4300.00

How to apply:

If you are interested in this opportunity and for further information, please contact SMART Consultants (Producers of Look Again 2015 in partnership with RGU) to request a full brief.

The deadline is Sunday 07 December 2014 at 17:00pm.

Carbondale’s commitment is to select high-quality work, from wherever and whomever it comes. In the last few years, our participants have been drawn from both coasts and in between!

Here’s one artist/participant’s take: "Truthfully, I cannot think of any part of the event that could have been done better. Starting with the installation that went together without a hitch (thank you, Tony) to the closing brunch and studio tour that were so fun. …The town, the valley, the food, everything was top notch and I feel very fortunate to have been a part of it. Can't forget James, wow! Bigger than life and so down to earth...I want his studio. :)"

We look forward to your application.

• The program develops pride in each community and draws visitors to civic areas where sculptures are displayed;
• The program is marketed throughout Douglas County and beyond;
• Selected public art is strategically placed in high-traffic areas in the community for maximum exposure;
• Selected artists will receive a $500 stipend, payable after completion of the installation;
• A $1,000 People’s Choice honorarium will be awarded to one artist in May 2015;
• As noted by previous artist participant: “All of my success this year can be attributed to the fine people and support from the Douglas County Art Encounters Program, sponsored by SCFD. This program has been a great success for me in the fact that because I loaned the art work to them during the program, they not only had one outright purchase by a jurisdiction, but another jurisdiction facilitated the purchase of a second sculpture,” said 2008 and 2009 artist Christopher Romero.

PUBLIC ART SELECTION PROCESS
A Public Art Advisory Committee with representatives from throughout Douglas County selects the artwork from applications submitted for this program. The Committee functions under the direction of the Douglas County Cultural Council.
The Public Art Advisory Committee selects the art and determines which art goes in Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Parker. The displayed work is identified with the artist name, title of piece, year and the Art Encounters logo. The Art Encounters exhibit features both traditional and cutting-edge sculptures throughout Douglas County, Colorado.

The call will open on Café.

FEBRUARY 14, 2014 The call will close on Café.

MID-LATE FEBRUARY
The Public Art Advisory Committee selects the artwork from the entries and then draws in order to choose which piece will be displayed at each jurisdiction’s location. Following selection, artists will receive e-mails indicating if their work has been selected. The jurisdiction will be in touch with artists whose work has been selected and provided with a contract. Failure to sign and return the contract by the specified date may result in the artist being dismissed from the exhibition.
