Do you or a group have extensive knowledge about the indigenous history throughout our region? Would YOU like to create a sculpture that embodies the rich heritage of Indigenous People and their cultures in our region as a part of Moorhead’s 150th anniversary celebration in 2025?

The City of Moorhead is issuing a Call for Art for a new permanent sculpture celebrating the rich heritage of Indigenous People and their cultures in our region in an effort to expand the Moorhead Sculpture Walk.

A strong proposal would envision a sculpture that:
• Has a connection to the Indigenous People of our region
• Enhances a downtown space
• Creates a connection to the Red River of the North
• Entices people to gather and promote an inclusive community

The Art and Culture Commission, on behalf of the Moorhead City Council, is issuing a Call for Art to consider a sculpture with a connection to Indigenous People. This project will be funded through the City Public Art fund with an anticipated budget of $20,000. Projects will be scored on their connection to the indigenous roots in the area and their alignment with goals and criteria outlined in this Call, the 2018 Arts and Culture Framework Plan, 2020 Downtown Master Plan and 2022 Onward Moorhead! Comprehensive Plan.

Please review full details for the 2024 Call for Art and email any questions to art@moorheadmn.gov.

If this interests you, please submit your proposal by 10 AM on Monday, December 2, 2024. We hope to hear from you!
