Call for Art in NH’s Capital City

The City of Concord, NH and the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce invite sculptors to submit entries for the capital city’s 8th annual outdoor art exhibit. Accepted entries will be on display from June 2025 through May 2026, enhancing the historic downtown area.

There is no fee to submit works, and selected artists will receive a $500 stipend. Sculptures will also be available for sale. A jury composed of members of the Chamber’s Creative Concord Committee—representing regional art and community leaders—will review submissions and select sculptures for the exhibit. The deadline for entries is April 25, 2025.

“Concord’s Main Street really is New Hampshire’s Main Street,” said U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen. These sculptures will be displayed in a destination city, full of unique shops, restaurants, and cultural venues that attract a high volume of visitors throughout the year. This public art exhibit enhances these attractions by creating an open-air gallery that is free for all to enjoy.
