Call For MN Artists | City of Detroit Lakes
2021 is Detroit Lakes’ 150th anniversary (sesquicentennial if you like big words). The city is planning a year-long celebration, which is the perfect time to launch another community art project for public display in DL in 2021 – and this is it: 150 Sails Up in DL!
Local artist, Hans Gilsdorf, has designed a new beautiful sailboat sculpture that is the perfect “blank canvas” for artists to showcase their work. Thanks to the skills and generosity of BTD Manufacturing, the sculptures will be more MN climate-resistant in powder-coated steel (or raw steel upon artist request). We will offer two sizes – 4’ tall and 20” tall. The total number of sailboats will be limited to 150, with no more than 75 being the larger size. A model of both size sailboats will be on display at the DL Chamber of Commerce (700 Summit Ave), DL City Office (1025 Roosevelt Ave) and Lakes Liquor (200 Holmes St E).
All artists that wish to submit designs will be required to sign an Artist Application and Artist Agreement in order to participate. Artists that have a design(s) selected by a sponsor will be eligible to receive a stipend paid by the City of Detroit Lakes upon completion of their sculpture. ($500 for directly applied art on a large sailboat, $300 for directly applied art on a small sailboat, or $150 for a digital image to be applied as a vinyl wrap on either size sailboat.)
Deadline for artist to apply is October 31, 2020
If you’re interested in participating artist or learning more about this project, please check the website: www.dl150.com.
