EVERETT, OCT.14: The City of Everett is calling on all sculptors for their Sculpture Lease Project aimed at beautifying the city and spotlighting local artists.
The Sculpture Lease Project is a two-year lease with a $1,500 stipend per sculpture. This fee includes all expenses related to the planning, creation, installation, and any necessary maintenance of the sculpture during the lease period.
The city’s Cultural Arts Commission is currently accepting proposals from artists until Oct. 15. They are looking for sculptures that “celebrate and enhance the cultural artistic diversity of the city.”
“I am excited to see new art coming to downtown Everett!” Tyler Chism, the City’s placemaking program manager said. “New sculptures will add to the rich tapestry of public art in our city, enhancing our vibrancy and cultural identity.”
A review panel consisting of community volunteers and City of Everett staff will review submissions.
This project is funded through an allocation of COVID recovery funding from Councilmember Judy Tuohy. For further information and artist applications, please visit everettwa.gov/artcall.
