Clearwater Seeks 3 Sculptures For Rotating Exhibit

CLEARWATER, FL -- The city of Clearwater, in partnership with the Public Art and Design Board, is seeking three artists to install completed sculptures on the 400-600 blocks of Cleveland Street in Downtown Clearwater.

The call is open to artists and teams of artists with experience in public art and sculptures. Artists must submit completed works of art, since this is a temporary art installation. Those interested are asked to submit the following items through the website: A one-page resume or short bio, two to four photographs of eligible sculptures and contact information for two references from past sculpture installations.

Applications are due on Friday, Aug. 17 and the selected artists will be notified on Sept. 4. Each of the three pieces will be awarded a $3,000 honorarium for the art.

Now in its ninth season, Sculpture360 is a rotating exhibition of temporary artwork and is part of the city of Clearwater Public Art and Design Program. The artwork will be displayed for 18 months. The exhibition is supported through contributions from the city's Public Art Fund and partnerships with other local donors and organizations.
