Arts & Humanities Bainbridge “Something New IV ” Call for Public Art 2021
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA – Arts & Humanities Bainbridge announces the 2021 “Something New IV” Call for Local Public Art.
The “Something New” program is a dynamic public art experience offering an opportunity for sculptors to exhibit their work in prominent locations on Bainbridge Island. This year, “Something New IV” will place sculptures in five outdoor locations in downtown Winslow: the intersection of Winslow Way and Ericksen Avenue, the south end of Madison Avenue in Doc’s Plaza, the entrance to Bainbridge Island City Hall and new this year, two additional locations in Waterfront Park.
Selected works will remain on display for eleven months, after which time they will be removed to make room for the next collection, offering Bainbridge Islanders and visitors “Something New” each year.
In addition to the five pieces to be temporarily exhibited as part of “Something New IV,” Bainbridge Island’s Public Art Collection consists of over 24 works, the majority of which are located in downtown Winslow and inside City Hall. The city’s Public Art Program is supported by volunteer members of the Public Art Committee (PAC), a sub-committee of Arts & Humanities Bainbridge. For more information, please visit bainbridgewa.gov/956/Public-Art-Program.
The artists selected for “Something New IV” will receive a $1,000 honorarium with the opportunity to be recognized for a $1,000 People’s Choice Award. The call is open to all Washington state artists. For more details, visit us at www.bainbridgecurrents.com/classified/something-new-iv/
