Sculpture Competition
Fields Project/inBronze Foundry

As a sculptor, we all have visions of doing large pieces, but the expense and risk of producing work at this scale, without having it sold, often holds us back. This sculpture competition is intended to provide professional sculptors the opportunity to add larger works to their portfolio, and to enable The Fields Project and inBronze Foundry to continue to add to the heritage of sculpture in the Oregon, IL area. The commitment of The Fields Project and inBronze Foundry to place ten outdoor bronze sculptures in the Oregon area began with the first life-size sculpture installed in 2005.

The Community Art Legacy (CAL) sculpture competition will be conducted at The Fields Project Fine Arts & Crafts Festival, June 24, 2012, at Oregon Park - West in Oregon, Illinois.

Competition Theme - Art and Agriculture

Scope
The selected sculpture will be enlarged by the artist to life-size not to exceed 7 feet high and 400 pounds, once cast in bronze.

Award
The chosen sculptor will receive a $2,000 cash award when the full-size original is delivered to inBronze Foundry for molding by November 18, 2012. The sculptor will also receive the high quality rubber mold that can be used to cast additional copies, up to an edition of nine. The CAL will cast the first of this limited edition for placement in Oregon, Illinois.

Participation with a display of other works for sale is no longer a requirement to enter the CAL sculpture competition; however, we strongly encourage participants to enter and display works for sale at the Fields Project Arts Festival. A separate ‘Regional Artists Application’ is required if you wish to also enter as an Arts Festival participant. Click here to download the form. You can also just enter the arts festival even if you did not have a maquette prepared for the competition.
