Public Art...

The 2 Rivers Art Project Committee, The Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association, and the Glenwood Springs Center for the Arts invites you to submit high quality outdoor sculptures to be considered for the 2008/2009 2 Rivers Art Project in Glenwood Springs. This exhibit is open to professional and amateur artists of all backgrounds. Each artist may enter up to two works. There are no limitations on the dimensions of each work.

A selection committee will review all entries and choose 10 pieces based on originality, durability, and suitability for outdoor display and public safety considerations. PLEASE NOTE: THE PRICE OF THE PIECE IS NOT TO EXCEED $15,000.

Upon acceptance into the year long display, artisans must be able to deliver their works by May 1, 2008 to the designated installation site. Local businesses will sponsor the installation of individual pieces and, after one year, will have the opportunity to purchase those pieces outright. An art festival in Centennial Park will conclude the display year by presenting one of the sculptures with the Citizen's Choice award. This sculpture will then be purchased and made a permanent display in the city.

If selected, artisans will be notified by March 15, 2008 and asked to provide a high resolution electronic image for production of a full color brochure.
