Starting April 1, 2026, SoKno Sculpt will accept applications for sculpture installations on your property.
Residents of the Old Sevier neighborhood are invited to apply for a $1,000 matching grant to subsidize the installation. Please provide the following information:
- Photo of the proposed site
- Concept sketch or digital rendering.
- Proposal with a price quote, a proposed timeline, and footing details.
Guidelines:
1. Grant seekers must be residents of the Old Sevier neighborhood, and the installation address must also be in South Knoxville.
2. Submissions must be archival-quality (durable) artworks designed to enrich the community for generations.
3. Each artist’s submission must include an artist bio (approximately 100 words). Include a short bio and address if the artist is not featured in our gallery.
The artist must reside in Knoxville or the surrounding communities.
4. Applications must include a photo of the proposed site and a concept sketch or digital rendering. The location must be visible to the public from the street.
5. An artist proposal must include a price quote, a proposed timeline, and footing details. The accepted proposal will receive a $1,000 grant. The property owner must match it with a minimum of $1,000.
6. Once installed, the sculpture becomes part of the property and may not be resold or relocated to another neighborhood.
