City of Brighton Sculpture on Loan Program
Call for Artists
This Sculpture on Loan Project is an art on loan program created by the City of Brighton Eye for Art (E4A) program and approved by the Brighton City Council in 2011.
The program affords artists increased public exposure and the opportunity to sell their works. The Eye for Art Program hopes the 2025 Art-on-Loan Project at Carmichael Park will continue the success of the program through this outdoor Public Art program, strengthening community identity and enhancing a “sense of place” and community pride for people who live and work in the City of Brighton.
Ten sculptures from the program have been purchased to date. The artist honorarium is $500 for each sculpture selected for display. Brighton, Colorado, seeks artists to participate in the 2025 Sculpture on Loan Project.
Open theme subject matter.
The deadline to apply is December 15th, 2024.

CUPS CUPS CUPS
A week long retreat and workshop in Vetulonia, Italy.
November 18-27, 2024
Cups Cups Cups is a thorough investigation into the heart of the most intimate and well-loved ceramic object - the cup.
Wheel throwing and hand building demonstrations, drawing exercises and handle exploration will all be key components of this 10 day workshop. Together we will dive into the history of the ceramic cup - it’s function, cultural relevance, and role in ritual. How it has been made in the past and how it is made world wide today.
We will investigate what it means to make objects for the hand; the balance between aesthetics and functionality, and the specificity of design needed for objects intended for personal pleasure.
A visit to the village’s Etruscan museum will be a source of inspiration for our making, as will be trips off the property to the beach, and the old town centres.
We will finish off this course with a firing of the wood burning kiln, with thoughtful and playful loading considerations. We will strategize to best take advantage of the ash and flame path.
