CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: SCULPTURE IN THE CITY

Sculpture in the City has launched an open call for submissions for a 2D graphic artwork that will be featured as part of a temporary site-specific installation within the public realm of the iconic Cheesegrater building in the City of London. The successful artwork will form part of the landmark 10th Anniversary edition of Sculpture in the City, which is due to launch summer 2021. The deadline for submissions is 19 February 2021.

This call for submissions offers a unique opportunity for artists, designers and illustrators to submit a graphic artwork for realisation on a large scale, which will be on view for a year within one of London’s most iconic buildings.

Sculpture in the City is an annual, award-winning, urban sculpture park which traditionally launches each year in June.

An artist fee of £750 will be offered in honorarium to the winning entry. Sculpture in the City will cover all other fees required to install the artwork i.e. reproduction, installation, insurance and the overall marketing and press campaign costs.
