Old Man of the Mountain Legacy Fund Releases a Call to Artists for Outdoor Sculptures
The Old Man of the Mountain Legacy Fund, in cooperation with the State of New Hampshire, invites professional artists to submit outdoor sculpture proposals for a memorial commission (or multiple commissions) to be sited on the north shore of Profile Lake in Franconia Notch State Park.
The placement of a sculpture (or sculptures) here is intended to provide a focus for those who wish to remember the Old Man and for those who never had the opportunity to see it. The sculpture (s) should facilitate a process of remembrance, introspection, and connection to the environment of which the Old Man was such an integral part. Both interpretive and representational pieces are appropriate. No designs for an installation or rebuilding on the Cannon cliff will be considered. The sculpture (s) must depict the physical form and/or spirit of the Old Man of the Mountain through representational or abstract imagery. The sculpture (s) must be made of material that can withstand the extreme weather conditions inherent to Franconia Notch. Environmentally sympathetic installation methods and appropriate physical scale of the sculptures will be favored in the selection process. Physical interaction between visitors and one or more components of the sculptural work will be permitted.
