Call to Artists
Interpretations of Functional Bicycle Racks
Four Corners Arts Center is pleased to announce a call for artists to submit proposals for a bicycle stand for this year’s annual sculpture exhibit as The Meeting House. He idea for this year’s exhibit is especially appropriate not only because of the energy savings of bicycles in general, but also because the Sakonnet Peninsula is a particularly popular site for bicyclists due to the relatively flat and scenic roadways in the area.
This is the 12th annual exhibit of sculpture at Tiverton Four Corners, an historic village in Rhode Island not far from Newport. Each summer in July and August the Four Corners Arts Center has provided an exhibit of area sculptors on an acre of lawn and trees behind The Meeting House, a popular venue for weddings, private parties, as well as community and arts events. Each summer several thousand people visit Tiverton Four Corners to visit its distinctive shops and art galleries.
Artist’s proposals are due by April 15th (This date has been extended from the original 4/1). They will be notified within two weeks if their proposal is accepted. Proposals can be sent by mail or digitally. Please be sure to include measurements, materials and color(s) that planned to be used. Also, artists may submit more than one proposal. If sent by mail artists should include a self addressed envelope for all information to be returned. Though, if proposal is accepted the Arts Center may choose (with permission of course) to keep the information for a little longer for PR purposes but, the information will be returned in a timely manner. Please note that all sculptures must be completed for installation by mid June.
These pieces do not have to be "site specific" though artists are welcome to come and tour the location. Please refer to the website for more information on how to get to the park.
