The Town of Putnam, in collaboration with the Putnam Arts Council (PAC) and the Putnam Business Association (PBA), invites professional artists and artist teams to submit finished artwork or proposals for one of three permanent, site-specific outdoor sculptures in Downtown Putnam, Connecticut. This initiative is part of a joint effort to enhance the cultural vitality and visual landscape of the community through engaging and accessible public art. The three sculptures will be installed along Main Street, in locations that previously housed trees. These tree sites, now available for creative reuse, are embedded within a highly visible and walkable area, making them ideal for impactful public art. Given this context, proposals inspired by arboreal themes, natural forms, or ecological concepts are strongly encouraged as a way to artistically reintroduce elements of nature into the urban setting.
