Harlem Sculpture Gardens
About Harlem Sculpture Gardens
Harlem Sculpture Gardens℠, led by the West Harlem Art Fund & New York Artists Equity, is announcing its second call for outdoor sculpture, dance and sound art in West Harlem, New York City. They will work collaboratively with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, local community boards and various neighborhood groups. Among the Organizing Committee, helping with recruitment and assuring diversity is AHL Foundation. The exhibition will take place from spring through late fall in 2025. Sculptures must be suitable for general viewing and pose no threat to public safety; no sexual, political, or violent content will be accepted. Materials must be resilient enough to withstand the harsh NYC weather. Artists will be required to maintain their sculptures throughout the duration of the exhibiting time frame including but not limited to damage from weather or vandals. Neither the City of New York nor the show presenters are liable for damage nor able to maintain the sculptures. Artist assumes responsibility for transportation and delivery to and from the display site. An applicant can be an individual artist or team of artists. Artists and galleries can form teams. NYC residency strongly encouraged but not required. Site-specific works are also strongly recommended but not required. Tours will be made available to artists along with additional reference information. West Harlem's cultural, demographic, and natural history can be the inspiration for submissions. The exhibition is open to all artists. Artists of color and emerging artists from underserved communities are strongly encouraged to apply. Presenters will cover comprehensive general liability insurance and a bond to the City of New York to cover site restoration.
