Boulder County, Colo. – Boulder County is recruiting artists to submit design proposals for an original, permanent, public sculpture to be placed on the Boulder County Courthouse plaza on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder.

As one of Colorado’s 17 original Colorado counties, Boulder County is celebrating its 150th anniversary and has commissioned the sculpture to help commemorate the milestone.

Artists must be residents of Boulder County and only original works will be considered. The project budget is limited to $20,000, including design, fabrication, transportation and delivery.

“We encourage artists to submit original proposals that reflect our county and its people and speaks to our residents,” said Carrie Haverfield, the county’s constituent services liaison.

Design proposals are due by June 13. Complete application information and details are available at www.BoulderCounty150.org. Please contact Carrie Haverfield at chaverfield@bouldercounty.org or 303-441-1688 with additional questions.
