Village of Beverly Hills Sculptures in the Parks 2026
Beverly Hills seeks sculpture artists for outdoor exhibition. Selected works on loan for 3 years with $1200 stipend provided.
The Village of Beverly Hills is calling for sculpture artists to participate in the 2026 Sculptures in the Parks program. This is an excellent opportunity for artists to showcase their work in an outdoor public setting while contributing to the community's artistic landscape.
Program Details:
The Village is specifically seeking original sculptures that are appropriately sized, weighted, and constructed from materials suitable for outdoor display. The artwork should demonstrate meaningful connections between art and the natural environment, reflecting themes of sustainability, ecology, or human interaction with nature.
Selection Process:
Submitted works will be carefully reviewed by a committee composed of local artists. Final selections will require approval from the Parks and Recreation Board, ensuring that chosen pieces meet the program's artistic and technical standards.
Commitment and Compensation:
Selected artists agree to loan their sculptures to the Village of Beverly Hills for a three-year period, spanning from May 2026 through April 2029. In exchange for this arrangement, each selected artist will receive a $1,200 stipend. This provides both compensation and valuable public exposure for participating artists.
Application Requirements:
Artists interested in participating should prepare documentation of their sculpture work, including photographs and dimensions. Submissions should clearly indicate the size, weight, and materials used in each piece. Artists must also provide a brief artist statement explaining how their work connects to the natural environment.
This is an opportunity suitable for both emerging and established sculptors looking to place work in a public setting. The three-year exhibition period provides extended visibility within the Beverly Hills community and surrounding areas.
