MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Artists and community members interested in participating in the EcoArts Sculpture Walk at Trailside Park in Middletown are encouraged to submit proposals by Tuesday, April 20.
For this 15th year of the Sculpture Walk, the primary purpose remains supporting revitalization of the land, and mending of damaged ecosystems within a local natural preserve that was damaged in the 2015 Valley fire.
Work should relate to the natural environment and integrate the spirit and materials of the park and of Lake County. Trees and flora are coming back with vitality.
All proposals will be juried. Artists may request to lead a workshop at the park to help with creation of new work. Some stipends are available.
Artwork will remain in the park through the duration of the exhibit through November and may not damage the park environment in any way.
Work that has restorative effects on the environment and is not susceptible to extreme weather changes may be selected to remain on view beyond the regular season.
An in-person or google-satellite visit to the park prior to submitting an application is encouraged.
Trailside Park is open from dawn to dusk daily and located at 21435 Dry Creek Cutoff. Videos of work from 2019 and an application are available at www.MiddletownArtCenter.org/ecoarts
The application fee $20; no one is turned away for lack of funds.
Submissions are due by April 20; installation is May 14 through May 29.
A public opening reception will be held June 12.
