2016-2018 Art on the Trailway
Art on the Trailway is a project of the Greater Greenwood Arts Council in Greenwood, Indiana in partnership with the Greenwood Parks & Recreation Department. This open call is for outdoor three- dimensional art. Awards are $3,000 for a two-year loan of the sculpture. They are looking to install four works this year.
Location
Polk Hill Trail was built in 2004 as part of a greater Trails and Greenways Master Plan. It is adjacent to Smith Valley Road which is a gateway to the city of Greenwood. Surrounded by a golf course, residential homes, apartments, and condominiums, it leads to a pedestrian bridge and Craig Park. Most viewers of the artwork will be vehicular traffic, however, we would like to encourage utilization of this multi-use trail through a refreshing of installations every two years.
