Sculpture Walk Across Nebraska (SWAN) 2027–28 — eight-community outdoor exhibition

The opportunity

Outdoor sculpture placement in eight Nebraska communities, with an option to participate in one or several and potential later rotations. Initial removal/relocation is end of April 2028. Schedule conflict: webpage announces results November 27 and installation May 3–9, 2027; issuer letter says November 26 and May 4–10. Introductory text accepts concepts, illustrations or photos, while the form specifies existing works. Confirm those differences with the organizer before production or travel commitments.

Who can apply

Professional and emerging artists may enter up to six original works. Entry form requires works for sale and suitable for at least one year outdoors, with sale price including a 25% commission; Fremont alone expressly requires proof of insurance. Introductory text permits concept submissions but the form says existing works, so concept-only eligibility is unresolved. No residency restriction is stated, which does not establish that all international applications are eligible.

Funding & costs

‘$1,000 stipend per selected sculpture upon delivery’, usable for materials, travel or lodging; a $500 People’s Choice award in each community. Works must be for sale, priced to include a 25% commission.

Application fee: 35
