Considerations

1. Safety is our first consideration when evaluating sculptures for public display. Sharp protrusions, etc. may eliminate an otherwise exceptional piece.

2. Durability is also a strong consideration, as the piece will be outdoors and subject to extreme weather conditions. It also must withstand the interaction of a very enthusiastic public.

3. Audience: Public art installations must be appropriate for all audiences.

It is only after these criteria are met that a piece is considered for its artistic value.

4. Delivery: Sculptures for the 2025-26 exhibit must be delivered to Eau Claire or arrangements must be made for exchange. All sculptures need to be delivered in “Intended Condition” and should be treated, sealed, painted or repaired prior to delivery.

5. Installation: Sculptures must be delivered with a steel or stainless steel mounting plate on the bottom, a minimum of 1/2” (half an inch) larger than the sculpture at its base. This allows us to weld the sculptures to our pedestals for a more secure installation. In rare exceptions (generally large-scale artworks) other installation methods are utilized. Please indicate if your piece will require special installation on question 14 of the application form. Sculptures must also arrive on-time for installation; otherwise, the additional installation cost will be the responsibility of the artist.

Awards

People’s Choice: A purchase award of the sculpture's value, up to $15,000 chosen by popular vote. Sculptures priced above $15,000 are ineligible unless waived by the artist.

Best of Show Bronze: $1,000 (juried)

Best of Show Other Materials: $1,000 (juried)

Voting closes on Dec. 31, 2025. Winners are announced at the artist reception & installation in May 2026.
