The ProjectSculpt Siouxland is a joint project of the Sioux City Art Center and Sculpt Siouxland, Inc., a private, non-profit organization that provides financial support to the project. The purpose of Sculpt Siouxland is to bring seven outstanding outdoor sculptures to highly visible locations in downtown Sioux City for a year-long exhibition. They join the growing number of sculptures that form the permanent collection of Sculpt Siouxland and remain on permanent display.

Honorarium Each artist accepted into the 2018-2019 Sculpt Siouxland exhibit will be given an honorarium of $1,500 per accepted sculpture. Therefore, if two sculptures by the same artist are selected, the artist will receive $3,000.

AwardsArtists featured in the exhibit will be eligible to win the following award:Jury’s Choice - $1,500*

*In lieu of the cash award, Sculpt Siouxland may propose to the Jury’s Choice Award recipient the option of purchasing the sculpture minus a 30% Sculpt Siouxland commission.

Sculpture PurchasesSculpt Siouxland is active in acquiring sculptures for its collection and in attracting private collectors. Sculpt Siouxland retains a 30% commission on sales. During its 13 years of activity, Sculpt Siouxland has acquired more than 20 sculptures with many more purchased for private collections.

Sculpture Criteria • Artists of all backgrounds may apply. Sculpt Siouxland is a public project and all proposed sculptures are screened to insure suitability for viewing by all audiences. • Artists may submit up to three sculptures for jurying. • Sculptures should be unique (non-editioned) works. • Each sculpture exhibited must be durable, freestanding, and capable of being bolted to the sidewalk or a concrete pad. Please note: sculptures will be installed at or near ground-level.

The sculptures will be brought to the Art Center grounds for a public reception and final opportunity to be purchased. Participating artists are highly encouraged to attend this event. Each artist may also bring a smaller sculpture (able to fit on a 24”x24” pedestal) to be included in a silent auction.
