Selected works will be installed in late May of 2022 and remain in place for the full year of the exhibit. Artists selected to be featured in the outdoor exhibit will receive an $850 cash stipend. The sculptures will be placed in highly visible sites and will enjoy a year-long marketing campaign promoting the exhibition and the artists with walking map brochures, guided docent tours, and online audio. At the end of the year, sculptures will be available for purchase where 70 of the sale price goes to the artist.Â
