Installation Details
NBOSS is a volunteer-driven exhibition dedicated to promoting artists and highlighting the cultural richness of our region. While we encourage sculptures that require minimal installation support, we understand that some larger pieces may need assistance. We can arrange installation support and, if necessary, access to heavy machinery, depending on the size and needs of the sculpture.
Will you be able to install your sculpture independently without assistance?
*
Yes
No
I have my own assistance
Please describe your installation needs, including base type and anchoring method:

Do you require assistance with installation (e.g., tractor, heavy machinery)? (please describe)
*
Additional Note: Artists selected will be contacted to schedule an installation time during the week prior to the opening reception. If your work requires heavy machinery or assistance, you will need to commit to the agreed time to ensure a smooth process.
