EAC Exhibitions Committee selects one proposal per year for our Sculpture on the Grounds program in the fall for a summer installation. Ideally, we would like to work two years in advance.
Guidelines:
Installations must engage with the unique geography and history of the Evanston Art Center site therefore pre-existing sculptural pieces are not considered. These large-scale, site-specific works result in sculptures that create an interesting dialog with the site and Art Center. Materials must be able to withstand outdoor weather conditions typical of this location, be installed and de-installed by the artist, and be within a budget limit of $10,000, including artist honorarium.
