Sculptists. . . .

Here is a shorter digest, but with some exciting information. The ISC is announcing the start of a series of Web Specials directly relating to Sculpture Parks. The first special is a great one for sculptors on Approaching Sculpture Parks. I hope that our listeners who are working at sculpture parks will read Nick Capasso's article and make any additional comments to us, here at the listserv. Sculptors may have advice or experiences that they feel would add to this great tool that Nick is putting out for sculptors.

Also, there are three great opportunities listed and an update on the schedule at Stone Hill Quarry in New York state, which my friend Emilie Brzezinski has told me is a great place for sculptors to do a project.

Please keep the great info flowing. Reply to <rjcj@texas.net>.

Have a great weekend,
RJ

HENRY LAY SCULPTURE PARK OPPORTUNITY
My name is Nanette Boileau and I am a curator at Saint Louis
University. We have just recently been donated a 350 acre sculpture
park in Louisiana, Missouri. And we have a great opportunity for artist.
Can you please post the following information:

Call for artist submissions:

Henry Lay Sculpture Park and Saint Louis University announces an
international call for large-scale outdoor sculpture. The sculpture
park is approximately 20 acres surrounded by 300-acre natural refuge. The park
comprises natural meadows, lakes, and streams, and is surrounded by
wooded hills. Also on site is Lay Center for Education and the Arts and in
2002 artist residencies will be available. Applicants should include up to 20
slides, including information on size, medium, and price. A resume,
artist statement, and SASE should also be included. Artist's selected will be
asked to submit proposals for the commission of new work. Deadline for
submission is 5/1/01. Materials should be sent to Janet Couch, Lay
Sculpture Park Review Committee, 17405 Hwy UU, Louisiana, MO. 63353

The Henry Lay Sculpture Park is located in Louisiana, Missouri, which is
a 90 minute car ride from St. Louis, Missouri. It is located between
Clarksville and Hannibal on Hwy 79. Saint Louis University is maintaining the Park and
the University and the Lay Foundation are selecting the artwork. A few artist that are
presently out there are Bing Cheng, Brian Rust, and Lee Imonen. We are
hoping to have the park open in May of 2001 and will continue to select
and install a children's interactive play/sculpture area based on reading,
science and the arts and the larger sculpture park. After the main park
has16-20 sculptures installed there is room for expansion. We are also
developing summer session studio classes that are college accredited,
and classes and lectures in history, biology, anthropology, and archeology.
And in the fall of 2002 we are going to have artist residencies.
