The first location for a new installation in the Sculpture Park is visible from the road and will have a prominent position as the sculpture park develops. The work may be site specific, or the artist may submit an already existing piece.
Proposals may be shown as photographs, hand drawn sketches, digital renderings, or models/maquettes. The BAC sculpture committee suggests that artists visit the site ahead of time, to understand the site’s constraints, so their proposals may take these into consideration.
