"Metamorphosis," Hilde DeBruyne, KONE
Quad City Arts has facilitated the leasing and installation of public sculpture in the Quad Cities since 2002. All the sculptures are for sale and can be purchased by individuals, businesses, or cities for permanent installation at the end of each exhibition. Quad City Arts does not take a commission on sales of sculptures.
The public sculpture program provides artists with an opportunity to display and sell their work. Some artists even receive commissions based on the work shown. There is no entry fee for artists to submit and artists receive a $1200 stipend for the lease of their work for a year. Hampton Cranes generously provides installation assistance to artists.
The link to the online sculpture gallery and the 2021 Call for Entries can be found on Quad City Arts’ website: https://www.quadcityarts.com/public-sculpture.html.
