EXHIBITION GUIDELINES

in sculpture media. Ten selected works are exhibited for an eleven month period
on the grounds of the Imperial Centre for Arts and Sciences in Rocky Mount, NC.
2. Three outdoor works may be submitted per artist.
A maximum of two outdoor works per artist may be selected
for the exhibition.

conditions, and pose no threat to public safety. Works must be secured to
concrete pads with anchor bolts or similar devices unless they meet the above
criteria without additional devices.
4. If at time of installation, the curator deems a selected
work potentially unable to meet the criteria of high traffic, severe weather
conditions or potentially dangerous to the public, the artist will be asked to
sign a waiver releasing the Arts Center/City of Rocky Mount from any
reimbursement or indemnity related to the sculpture.
5. Artists are responsible for timely installation and
removal of all works by appointment. Artists must submit installation
specifications such as crane requests, suggested concrete pad size, securing
instructions and equipment required, such as a hammer drill and/or ladders. The
Arts Center will supply hammer drill & bits, 3” ½ or ¾” red head bolts,
socket set, 2 scheduled crane dates (all artists with this need must comply to
one of the selected dates or schedule a crane at their own expense) and
physical assistance in installing and removing works. Please include any
additional information that may be helpful for exhibition design and
installation.
