Community Art Legacy

 The intent of the Community Art Legacy is to place sculptures in prominent locations throughout the Oregon area by installing ten bronze sculptures within a ten year period. Sculptors are invited to enter the CAL sculpture contest by presenting a maquette at the Fields Project Arts Festival June 24, 2012. The winning sculpture is chosen and announced that day. The enlarged sculpture is delivered to inBronze Foundry by November 1, 2012 for casting.

inBronze Foundry has committed to cast the enlarged piece at no charge, donating the cost of casting the sculpture. Individuals, businesses, corporations or groups can be part of this program by sponsoring the $2,000 artist award, or making contributions to cover the costs associated in making the mold of the original sculpture. The entity that receives each year’s sculpture will be acknowledged for covering all installation costs.

Sculpture is a defining element in our community. The impact of sculpture in the Oregon area began with Lorado Taft and the Eagles Nest Artists Colony. This legacy affects our community visually, socially, and economically. The Fields Project and inBronze Foundry, Mt. Morris, have joined together to continue building on this tradition through our Community Art Legacy project.

The Fields Project, Inc., is a not-for-profit organization with a 501(c)3 designation granted by the Internal Revenue Service, with the Community Art Legacy, as a subcommittee under The Fields Project. Become a part of the Community Art Legacy and add to our art heritage by pledging a donation each year to cover the cost of the mold. Each year’s pledge goes 100% directly to the corresponding year’s sculpture. Contributions are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
