Submission Guidelines

All sculptors are welcome to submit works that follow the Park’s guidelines.

We do not require any biographical material with your submission. Sculptures are selected on the merits of the art and how they will complement our park.

All submissions must be deemed safe by us, and should be suitable for exhibition in an outdoor setting and be capable of withstanding occasional high winds, rain, and possible snow. San Juan Islands Sculpture Park is an independent 501 ©(3) non-profit.

Installation appointments will be made based on our schedule and availability, as well as weather conditions. Overnight accommodations may be provided depending on Roche Harbor Resort’s room availability.

Installation assistance is available.

Heavier and larger exhibits may require rental equipment, which would be the responsibility of the exhibitor.

Artists agree to placement for a two-year period if the work is not sold sooner. A 30 percent commission will be taken on all sculptures sold during the exhibition period and for 90 days after.

We are not responsible for transportation to and from the Park. We may be able to accept certain exhibits by shipment to us.

Sculptures are to be delivered and installed in the Park by the artist or by the artist’s representative at the site location designated by Park management. After acceptance and before installation, artists may be asked to provide a diagram or description of any installation requirements. All exhibits must be secured for safety and security purposes. Rebar and ready-mix will be supplied by the Park on installation day.

SJISP takes all precautions to protect and maintain consigned sculptures but the artists must insure their own artworks for damage, theft, and liability if someone is injured by their piece.

Art that differs from the digital entry photo may be rejected prior to installation.

The SJISP will reimburse up to $300 travel expenses after installation, and after submission of valid receipts. Please allow 30 to 60 days for processing.

Contact us with any questions you may have.
