Negative Space: An Exhibition of Unrealized Public Sculpture

How does a public sculpture come to be? Behind every sculpture installed in a public space are countless proposals that were never realized. Artists invest significant time and creative energy developing public art concepts, creating drawings, renderings, maquettes, site plans, and written proposals. Yet, outside of a small jury or limited public review, the creative labor of these unchosen works remains unseen.

"Negative Space" is an exhibition exploring the unrealized possibilities of public art.Through proposal maquettes, renderings and documentation, the exhibition reconstructs a landscape of absence and provides us with an opportunity to experience these works. “Negative Space” asks visitors to consider how public space is shaped not only by what is built, but also by what is refused.

Call for entry: June 9 - July 9, 2026
