The city of Ketchum is inviting artists to apply for an interactive, sculptural installation on the city’s Fourth Street Heritage Corridor. The selected artwork will provide viewers with an interactive experience that reflects the historic character of the city. It will become a permanent part of the city’s art collection.

Artists may submit up to 10 images of existing artwork. Three artists or artist teams will be selected through a jury process by the Ketchum Arts Commission and asked to submit proposals. Each artist or team will receive a stipend of $500.

The finalist will be selected on March 5, 2019. Artist will receive $25,000 to complete the project, which will include artist fee, design, materials, fabrication, shipping and installation. The interactive piece will be displayed beginning in the summer of 2019.

Ketchum’s Heritage Corridor spans four blocks, which have been improved with wider sidewalks, benches, street trees, chess tables, bike racks and rotating art installations.

Art on Fourth, a popular exhibition that runs from June through October, just finished its eleventh year. The new art piece will provide interactive art year-round to the community and its visitors.

The call is open to all artists and has a submittal deadline of 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 3.

Detailed information on the goals and submission process can be found at www.ketchumidaho.org/arts.
