We are seeking proposals for works in any medium reflecting contemporary sculptural practice and suitable for outdoor display.

This could be sculpture, installation, sound, 2D etc. The works have to survive outside, open to the elements, for the duration of the exhibition (October 2016 to July 2017) or could be designed as ephemeral projects (if so please detail this on application form). If for sale the works must have longevity for the buyer.
