Call for Art: 2019-2020 Sculpture Walk Chelsea offers cash, platform for art

Chelsea Area Festival & Events (CAFE) announced a call for art for the 2019-2020 SculptureWalk Chelsea series.
Celebrating its 10th year, SculptureWalk Chelsea is a rotating, outdoor sculptural exhibition showcased throughout downtown Chelsea.
Through a juried selection, twelve sculptures will be chosen. The winning artists receive a $750 award along with a year-long highly visible platform to display their work. Sculptures will be available for sale, with 70% of the proceeds going to the artist.
SculptureWalk Chelsea has been revitalized thanks to a minigrant award from Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs (MCACA) and administered by The Arts Alliance.
CAFE is the project manager in collaboration with the City of Chelsea/Downtown Development Authority, Chelsea District Library, and the Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce.
Chelsea District Library, as part of its sponsorship support, has made a financial commitment for two installations to be located on the library premises as well as providing free docent tours.
“We have been a partner with the SculptureWalk since its beginning … last year we were very excited to be able to give one of the pieces a permanent home at the entrance to the library!” said Linda Ballard, assistant director.
The application deadline is Feb. 17. For more information, email Crystal Scott at [email protected] or apply for SculptureWalk Chelsea at www.chelseafestivals.com/sculpturewalk .
