Following the success of the inaugural award in 2024, Parabola is launching the second Scottish Emerging Sculptor Award. Scottish artists are invited to develop ambitious proposals for a new public sculpture inspired by their own interpretation of Edinburgh Park. Five shortlisted artists will be selected to take part in a mentoring programme led by Matthew Jarratt, Arts Curator for Edinburgh Park, supporting them in developing their ideas into exhibition-ready proposals. The shortlisted proposals will be exhibited in the reception of 1 New Park Square throughout the summer and autumn of 2027, giving visitors the opportunity to explore the designs before casting their vote for their favorite.
