Get matched →The Greater Augusta Arts Council invites proposals from qualified sculptors and artist teams to create a unique, durable, low-maintenance sculpture titled "Snappy" depicting a Common Snapping Turtle. The sculpture will be installed along the Beaver Trail within the Phinizy Center for Water Sciences and Nature Park in Augusta, Georgia. Artists are encouraged to interpret the subject creatively while complementing the park's mission of environmental education and conservation.
This Request for Proposals is open to professional sculptors and artist teams residing in the Southeastern United States. All applicants must be at least 18 years old.
The sculpture will be located along the Beaver Trail, one of the park's popular walking paths. The precise location is nestled along the forest line adjacent to the Beaver Trail between Butler Creek and the Mayoral Pond, near a bridge path and outdoor classroom. Carting in the sculpture will be necessary as vehicles cannot traverse the Beaver Trail fully. The sculpture must be designed to withstand climate conditions (average winter temps in mid-40s to summer temps in low 80s, with periods of extreme heat, humidity, heavy rainfall, and occasional tropical storm conditions) with minimal maintenance for at least twenty years.

This commission will become the sixth permanent sculptural installation at the Phinizy Center, expanding the park's growing sculpture trail. The Phinizy Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to watershed research, environmental education, and conservation, located on over 1,100 acres of wetlands, forests, and trails. This project is made possible through funding provided by the Georgia Rehabilitation Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities and older adults through accessible public art.
