Denver Art Museum seeks designs for sculpture

The Denver Art Museum is looking for Front Range architects and artists to design a sculpture for Martin Plaza that will be installed this summer when the museum showcases several exhibitions and programs related to the idea of sculpture.

The outdoor project is expected to complement the museum's offerings and add a knock-your-socks-off, interactive feature to the larger Civic Center complex.

The museum is seeking a sculpture that visitors can interact with or an installation that prompts people to interact with each other. The winning team must be able to both design and build the sculpture. The museum has a budget of $15,000 for the project, which includes artist fees and materials.
The project should have a strong visual draw and celebrate the idea of sculpture and/or communal gathering with interactive features. Because it will be outside and attract visitors of all ages, it needs to be durable and safe.

The selected individual or group must work collaboratively with the museum staff to finalize project design.

All project proposals must be emailed in PDF format, to Jaime Kopke by 5 p.m. on Feb. 14.  For more information, visit the Denver Art Museum website.
