Submission Requirements

Curatorial & Artist Submissions

Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park’s focus is sculpture (mainly outdoor) or two-dimensional works by sculptors. Due to the volume of inquiries the Sculpture and Exhibitions Department receives, all artist submissions and questions must be sent by mail. Please be aware that the process may take several months and materials will not be returned.

All submissions must include:

  • A letter of intent.
  • We prefer 8″×10″ color printouts of works being considered and a flash drive with 300 dpi jpg images.
  • Biography, CV, artist statements and press materials are helpful.

Mail materials to:

Curator of Sculpture
Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
1000 E. Beltline NE
Grand Rapids, MI 49525

E-mail submissions will no longer be considered. We will not accept or be responsible for unsolicited delivery of artwork.
