Works in Public (formerly known as Model to Monument) is a professional development program that offers artists the opportunity to create site-specific, large-scale public sculptures. Since its inception, 46 artists have completed this program and had their sculptures installed in year-long public exhibitions at Riverside Park South and Riverside Park at 145th Street.
Works in Public will engage a team of artist-participants in every phase of the conception, creation, and installation of site-specific sculptures, providing them with direct work experience in the physical materials and processes used to create original works of public art. WiP students will each receive a monthly stipend and a scholarship for a full-time class for the duration.
This is an open application process; selected artists must commit to attending The League full time during their participation in the program. Selection is based on the strength of proposed concept and portfolio; artists working in all media are invited to apply.
Works in Public applications are due by September 11.
Selected artists will be notified September 26.
The program begins October 3.
