Get matched →The Hopkinton Center for the Arts (HCA) and 26.2 Foundation invite artists of all ages to submit a proposal for a one-of-a-kind Winged Foot—a public art project celebrating the Boston Marathon and the spirit of Hopkinton. 26 artists will be selected to transform a blank Winged Foot into an original work of art. The finished pieces will be displayed outdoors on the Hopkinton Town Common from April 9–30, 2027, and then auctioned to benefit HCA and the 26.2 Foundation.
If your proposal is selected, you'll receive a blank Winged Foot cut from Versatex and be paired with a local business sponsor. Your sponsor will provide a $250 stipend to help cover art materials. Stipends will be paid at the opening reception. Your finished Winged Foot will become part of the outdoor public art display and will later be available for auction.
You can use a variety of outdoor-friendly techniques and materials, including artist-quality acrylic or outdoor paint, assemblage, mosaic, and other weather-resistant materials.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Non-local artists must have their completed Winged Foot received by April 2, 2027, at Hopkinton Center for the Arts, Attn: Winged Foot. Non-local artists are responsible for shipping costs to and from HCA, insuring artwork while in transit, and packing the artwork in sturdy, reusable packaging.
