Announcing Letter to America's Alternative Local Sculpture Competition!!
The Thanksgiving Square is a prime location in Belfast, framing the entrance into Belfast over the Queen's Bridge. The silver, tubular, pony-tailed girl with a hula hoop in her hand that stands there at present was made by Andy Scott, a Scottish sculptor. The tall sculpture welcoming people into Belfast is OK. But Letter to America would have liked to have seen something GREAT go up in her place. More importantly we think this was a missed opportunity to showcase LOCAL talent.
If you or someone you know is a Sculptor in or from Northern Ireland, we'd like to see photos of your work.
Please write to [email protected] and include a little information about the artist. We will post the work on this site for the world to judge for itself.
The best alternative sculpture will win a special (yet to be determined) prize. The real reward, of course, is reflecting on the need for more local talent exposure. Here is to the proliferation of Belfast arts and culture!
