Get matched →The City of Loveland Art in Public Places program seeks artists for The Art Advocacy Project 2D (TAAP 2D) in the Loveland Public Library’s Central Galleria. This popular public art exhibit is a one-year on-loan program designed to promote regional artists through the public display of their artworks. TAAP 2D offers artists an opportunity to bring their work into a vibrant public setting and connect with community members and visitors. Through this program, the City of Loveland celebrates and supports Colorado artists while making original artwork accessible to the public. Since 2022, AIPP has teamed up with the Loveland Poet Laureate committee to showcase poetry inspired by the artwork on display. Depending on the poet’s creative process, selected artists may need to spend some time discussing their artwork with the poet.
This project is open to all Colorado artists of two-dimensional media. This project is open to artists (18 years or older) at any stage of their career.
TAAP 2D welcomes a wide variety of media, including fiber, charcoal, and mixed media, in addition to traditional painting. Artwork larger than 3' x 3' (36” x 36”) will not be considered. Incorrect dimensions on artists’ applications could prevent artwork from being exhibited. Artists may submit one image of the artwork in their application. Please label your submission clearly and include the dimensions for each piece (including the frame) in your artist statement.
Artists will be compensated with an honorarium of $350.00. Artists may choose to offer their work for sale; however, this is not required. Artwork submitted for the exhibit must be valued at $2,500 or less. Pieces valued at over $2,500 will not be considered.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Artists may submit one entry for the TAAP 2D project. All applications must be submitted through the CaFE website. Please do not submit artwork that will not be available for the entire year. Artwork must be durable for public display in a high-traffic corridor. Artwork that is fragile or unprotected will likely not be selected. All artwork must be professionally fabricated and framed with protective glass (when applicable). Artwork must be considered “ready to hang” to an art railing with D-ring hardware. D-ring hardware must be installed before delivery. Selected artwork must remain on display for the duration of the program. Exceptions will be made for photographs that are part of a limited edition; such photo prints may be sold and replaced for display within the first six months of hanging. Artwork submitted must be created by the artist who created the work and must be original (exceptions are photographic editions). Artists must own all rights to display the artwork. Artwork must be suitable for viewers of all ages. Applications will be evaluated by a jury panel comprised of representatives from Art in Public Places (AIPP) and citizen volunteers.
