Boston Marathon: The Winged Feet

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: February 1, 2024

A collaboration between HCA and 26.2 Foundation

We invite artists to submit their design ideas for a project celebrating the 100th time Hopkinton served as the starting line of the Boston Marathon. Selected artists will be paired with a local business sponsor who will provide a stipend to cover the cost of art materials.

WHAT: Artists will be provided with a winged foot cutout of Versatex. The winged feet will be approximately 2 feet wide by 3 feet high exterior art installations mounted to a metal pole resting at eye level. Designs should be appropriate for all ages.

Artists may use any weather-resistant materials, but they must be able to withstand being outdoors. Techniques used could include artist-quality acrylic or other outdoor paint, assemblage, mosaics, etc.

WHEN: The artwork will be displayed outdoors in mid-March through the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2024. The artwork will be available for auction. Proceeds from the sale of the artwork will support the host organizations.
