Artscape Call for Artists 2016


The exhibition of the work will be between May 2016 and April 2017.


Artscape, the City of Pittsfield’s Public Art committee, invites sculptors to submit proposals for next year’s juried art installations. Under the theme of In Motion: Pittsfield, the installations will span a broad spectrum, from decorative to inspirational, functional to whimsical. Artists have a free hand in determining their approach. 
 

The mission of the City of Pittsfield’s Artscape program is to enhance the downtown character and attract visitors by installing and promoting works of art in various outdoor locations public throughout the city’s Upstreet Cultural District.
