Call for Proposals

headland SCULPTURE ON THE GULF WAIHEKE ISLAND is a contemporary outdoor sculpture exhibition, free to the public and held every two years over the height of summer. Since the inaugural exhibition in 2003 the event has attracted many of New Zealanders leading sculptors.

We are currently seeking proposals for the 2011 exhibition.

headland SCULPTURE ON THE GULF 2011 is excited to announce significant awards recognising both artists and sculptures. These include the headland 2011 Premier Award $20,000; Kinetic Sculpture Award $10,000 and Young Artist Award (under 29 years) $5,000.

We welcome proposals for all kinds of sculpture, whatever the media, scale and style, including multi media and ephemeral works. We are looking for a selection of work that considers the connection between the environment and the landscape. Each selected artist will receive $2,000 towards the completion of their work. You are strongly encouraged to research and, if possible, visit the island walkway before submitting your application.

The selector’s for 2011 are Trish Clark, Chairperson, Advisory Panel for Public Art, Heather Galbraith, Senior Curator/Manager Curatorial Programmes, City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi  and James McCarthy, Executive Director, Te Tuhi Centre for the Arts.

Being selected to exhibit at headland Sculpture on the Gulf is not only prestigious and an opportunity to exhibit alongside other leading New Zealand (and international) sculptors, it is also an opportunity to present your work to the public in a unique coastal location and enjoy the camaraderie and strong community support for which the event is well known in the arts community.

Proposals are to be received by Friday 30 April, 2010 and artists will be notified mid June 2010.
