Artist Opportunities
Call for Artists: Madison County Public Library- Richmond
Richmond Community Galleries, Inc.
Richmond Community Galleries, Inc. is restructuring their gallery at the Madison County Public Library–Richmond and is currently seeking individual or group artist propsals for July 2026–July 2027. The gallery can hold from 20 to 25 two dimensional (2–D) pieces. If you do not have enough artwork to fill the space, we suggest that you submit a group proposal. Your artwork will be in the gallery for about 60 days and should be not be removed prior to the end of your exhibition.
Request for Sculpture/Proposals Outdoor Sculpture
High Point at Woodland Park Condominiums, Lexington, KY
LexArts Inc. in association High Point at Woodland Park Condominium Association (COA) seeks a sculpture for permanent acquisition and placement in an outdoor setting at 499 East High Street, Lexington.
The vision for this installation is to create a recognizable and uplifting public artwork that celebrates the social fabric of the Alyesford Place Neighborhood and High Street/Woodland Avenue corridor — a place where residents walk, gather, work, connect, shop, dine and enjoy the surrounding parks and green spaces. The sculpture should feel welcoming, timeless, and should contribute positively to the streetscape while creating a meaningful visual landmark.
This artwork will be placed on the sidewalk from the building to High Street directly in front of the building’s first floor commercial space currently owned and occupied by the Blue Grass Community Foundation (see exhibit 1 – Map). The installation cannot block the sidewalk, it is envisioned the artwork may be partially installed on the sidewalk and a portion of the base could be off the sidewalk, similar to how the building’s existing Horsemania “Mechanical” sculpture is situated on the parallel sidewalk.
We are seeking an existing sculpture or a proposed sculpture by Kentucky Artists. The Committee prefers artwork that is not a Horsemania sculpture, however submitting a Horsemania sculpture is permissible. There is no application fee to enter.
