Sturgeon Bay is inviting artists to submit proposals for a new outdoor sculpture to be featured along the city’s East Waterfront Promenade as part of its Biennial Public Art Placement program.
The Sturgeon Bay Local Arts Board has opened a call for art seeking an original piece to be displayed in a landscaped space along the popular waterfront walkway. “Basically there is a two year rotating art piece (sculpture) that we are looking to install on the East side promenade,” said Stephanie Gomez, Municipal Services Administrative Assistant for the City of Sturgeon Bay.
The selected sculpture will be installed on a two-year loan and placed in a highly visible area along the Walkable Sturgeon Bay route. Gomez noted that the new artwork will continue the city’s rotating public art tradition. “The new installation will replace ‘Lady Leani’ by Teresa Lind which we are moving to the West side,” she said.
“Submissions are due by April 3rd and then the board will make its decision at April's monthly meeting,” Gomez added.
The piece will be available for sale and the artist will receive a stipend. Artists can find application details at the City of Sturgeon Bay’s website.
