Bethany Arts Community (BAC) invites artists to propose project ideas for the sculpture park we are developing on the BAC property

The Sculpture Park

The location for the installation is visible from the road and has a prominent position as we grow the sculpture park. We are looking for a large sculpture that can be seen at a distance. No taller than 15 feet. 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 sculpture committee suggests that artists visit the location prior to submission to understand the site’s constraints and so their proposals may take these into consideration.

We are looking for a 2 to 3 year sculpture loan. We want to keep the park dynamic and showcase multiple artists over the coming years.

A $2,000 honorarium will be provided to cover transportation and installation. BAC will provide a concrete slab and $200 towards a crane for installation.

How to Apply:

Bethany Arts Community will unveil the very first sculpture installed on Bethany’s front lawn. Made in Westchester by Dobbs Ferry Sultz artist Malcolm MacDougall III.

An artist’s vision need not be limited to what they can personally create with their two hands, thanks to people like Malcolm MacDougall III. His company, Sultz in Dobbs Ferry, helps artists bring their ideas into reality, by welding large steel structures, casting sculptures in bronze, or whatever large job needs doing to prepare for an installation. MacDougall, an artist himself, says his sensibility helps bring out the subtleties of the artists’ intentions. One of MacDougall’s own large works was recently installed at the Bethany Arts Community in Ossining.

Bethany Arts Community will unveil the very first sculpture installed on Bethany’s front lawn. ‘Microscopic Landscape’, a 5 ton weathered steel sculpture by Artist, Malcolm MacDougall III, was nestled into it’s new home at Bethany back in February. Join us for a reception following the unveiling along with a last chance to see the exhibit by local artists currently on display in our galleries.
