Attention Artists:
Opportunity for Public Art Sculptures to be placed in De Soto, Kansas
Public Art can help tell De Soto’s stories, engage people in meaningful ways and provide valuable, interactive experiences to all.
The De Soto City Council and the De Soto Arts Council are seeking Artists who wish to submit their artwork for display in the city on a leased basis..
Sculptures would be on loan to the city for a stipend amount of $2,000 payable to the artist for a 1 year lease with consideration for possible purchase by the city at the end of 1 year at a predetermined amount. Sculptures must be suitable for long-term display. The sculpture must be considerable in scale as many sites are viewed from a distance. Suggested Minimum size is 4 ft. The durability and size of the piece will be a consideration for selection. Sculptures must be capable of being properly secured to the ground or concrete.
Initially, two Art sculptures will be selected annually and placed at locations agreed upon by the De Soto Arts Council and the De Soto City Council. One in the Spring, 2021 and another in the Fall, 2021.
Deadline for Submission:
Spring Sculpture- April 15, 2021- Spring submission
Fall Sculpture - June 1, 2021-Fall submission
Open to artists 18 years of age or older. All entries must be original work.
See Sculptures for additional information and payment of fee.
