Two exciting opportunities for artists this season at the South Mountain Conservancy
Wildflower Sculpture Park
We invite artists to apply for one of two exciting opportunities at the Wildflower Sculpture Park. The curatorial theme for 2025 is Walk With Me. All artists are encouraged to explore ideas of renewal and environmental harmony while emphasizing the visitor’s journey into and through the 14-acre Wildflower & Forest Preserve, as well as the larger South Mountain Reservation.

All new installations will open to the public in Fall 2025. 
The two opportunities are:
