Sculpture Competition UK

The invitation to enter the Belvoir “3Rs – Reclaimed, Recycled, Raw” sculpture competition (from which selected artists will be invited to take part in a sculpture symposium which will result in a sculpture trail in the Vale of Belvoir) has been extended to include artists within 10 years of graduation. The deadline for entries is 31 January 2011.

Originally, as Belvoir Castle & Estate artist-in-residence for the Duchess of Rutland, I wanted to focus only on art students for this event. However I soon realized that opening the competition to a wider range of would-be participants presents an even greater challenge to all.

The web page containing the brief, guidelines, indicative list of sustainable sculpture materials, a downloadable entry form, images of possible sites for sculptures to be located on the sculpture trail is available here.

To help promote this art opportunity to students and fellow artists, copy and paste the following link into any e-mail:  http://www.laurydizengremel.com/Belvoir/Belvoir_3Rs_Reclaimed_Recycled_Raw_Sculpture_Trail.html

Besides blogging here, I’ve also posted blogs or ads on the AN website, the Axis website, and various other places to ensure emerging artists also learn about this art opportunity. Requests for further info about the sculpture competition are starting to come in (from an MA student at the Slade in London, from others).

 

This is the studio courtyard garden where invited artists will gather (no snow on the ground at Easter we hope!) to daily discuss the progress they make on creating their sustainable sculptures!
