San Juan Islands Museum of Art and Sculpture Park: Call for sculptures

San Juan Islands Museum of Art (IMA) and Sculpture Park is seeking submissions of large, outdoor sculptures for the IMA Sculpture Park at Roche Harbor, San Juan Islands, Washington State. The IMA Sculpture Park is a major Northwest art destination, located on over 19 acres in the San Juan Islands, adjacent to the Roche Harbor Community on the shores of Westcott Bay. The Park received over 25,000 visitors in 2009, and sold over $50,000 of sculpture during the last three months of the year.

Carkeek Park Outdoor Exhibit: Heaven and Earth

In collaboration with the Carkeek Park Advisory Council and the Seattle Parks and Recreation, CoCA will present an exhibition of temporary, outdoor sculptural installations in Carkeek Park organized around the theme of “Heaven and Earth,” from June 26 - August 10, 2009. The sponsors are seeking interpretations of art and nature in a world of change.

Our parks are implicitly havens (“heavens”) where we go to relax, recreate, and, in Carkeek's case especially, walk through the woods. Carkeek is widely considered one of Seattle's premier urban forests...Sunset Magazine recently named it #3 among America's top 10 urban parks.

The artwork should be constructed of primarily natural materials and be designed to have minimal impact on the park -- either decomposing organically, leaving “no trace” -- or, when removed at the end of the display period, leaving the park in essentially the same condition it was prior to installation. Please consider that park visitors include families and children. We are open to two dimensional, three dimensional, and multi-media works.

Deadline is April 15, 2009.
