SACAGAWEA ARTIST SUBMISSIONS
The submission period has closed, please check back in fall 2019.
DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 2, 2018
The Professional Dimensions Sacagawea Artist selection is open to any Wisconsin-based woman artist who consistently shows skill and originality in a medium such as painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, or fiber. The selected artist will receive a monetary honorarium of $6,000 for the creation of three art pieces, recognition as an honored guest at the Sacagawea Awards banquet dinner and a one year’s honorary membership to Professional Dimensions.
Two of the art awards will be presented to each of the honored recipients at the Sacagawea Dinner on March 7, attended by more than 500 Milwaukee area business leaders at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The selected artist will create one additional piece for the Professional Dimensions art collection. If you wish to view the permanent Professional DImensions Art Collection (consisting of 37 pieces in various mediums), it is on display at the technology building rotunda, second floor, at Alverno College in Milwaukee.
