About Opportunity

The internationally recognized Chicago Sculpture Exhibit (CSE) invites professional 3D artists and sculptors worldwide to apply for the opportunity to create and install large-scale outdoor sculptures at designated public sites. At least 40 sculptures will be selected by CSE’s professional jury and paired with partnering sponsors who will determine the installation locations. The selected artworks will be displayed for one year, and each artist will receive a $2,000 honorarium—half paid upon contract signing and the remainder upon installation.

About Organizer

It is a nonprofit organization dedicated to integrating public art into daily life by showcasing large-scale sculptures in urban settings across Chicago.
