Denver International Airport: Rotating Sculpture Programme (USA)

Through a competitive selection process artists will loan Denver International Airport (DEN) an existing large-scale sculpture or installation to be temporarily displayed. The sculpture/installation should seek to create a sense of place, elevate the customer experience and create a memorable impression of Denver and the region for travellers and staff. DEN has selected Concourse B East for the display of the selected rotating sculpture. Artist or artist team will have the opportunity to activate a 20’ x 42’ site with a floor-based installation. Artwork must be relatively maintenance free and able to withstand the fast-paced and high traffic environment of the airport. Artwork shall be constructed from sound materials with public safety in mind. Selected artwork/installation will be displayed at the designated site for a duration of 6 months. Following display, DEN will not store, purchase or accession the artwork into the permanent collection. This programme is open to all artists internationally. Applicants may apply as a single artist or multi-person collaborative group. Awarded applicants are required to conduct a site visit with the DEN Arts Team and are responsible for overseeing the installation and removal of their artwork. Artists residing within the state of Colorado are strongly encouraged to apply.
