South Suburban Parks and Recreation (SSPR) and the South Suburban Public Art Committee (SSPAC) invite members of the community to apply for the Art-on-Loan call for artists. The deadline to apply is March 8, 2021.

The Art-on-Loan Program allows for up to three artist-owned sculptures to be displayed at Goodson Recreation Center and Hudson Gardens for a period of one year. The sculptures are selected by the SSPAC and Hudson Gardens through a competitive process.

The SSPAC recommends three sculptures for SSPR Board approval to be displayed for one year at the Goodson Recreation Center’s courtyard and entryway. The SSPR Board will also approve two sculptures to be displayed at Hudson Gardens Event Center.

Interested in applying? Artists must reside in Colorado and their sculpture(s) must meet the site requirements and remain on display for one year. All sculptures must be for sale. Each artist receives a $500 honorarium for their display. SSPR receives a 20% commission on sculptures sold through the Art-on-Loan program. The application deadline is March 8, 2021. Apply here. For inquiries, contact: mbraaten@ssprd.org

The Art-on-Loan Program is a year-long outdoor exhibit (June 2021 - June 2022) designed to promote public interest in art, develop community pride, and enhance the visitor experience at Goodson Recreation Center and The Hudson Gardens & Events Center.
