Calling All Artists!

---

Full size fiberglass stallion statutes will be painted by local artists and leased to businesses and/or individuals to be displayed throughout the City of Scottsdale from late January, 2023 through early April, 2023. Artists’ whose work is chosen and paint a statue will be recognized on a plaque displayed by the stallion. A “scavenger hunt” type map will be provided through media to give residents and visitors the opportunity to seek and find all of the stallions on display.

Artists must submit their original work by OCTOBER 15, 2022 in order for their design to be considered for presentation to the sponsors. The sponsors will choose from the selected artist submissions.

Artists’ whose renderings are chosen will have until DECEMBER 15, 2022 to complete the painting of the fiberglass stallion. The Scottsdale Rotary Club Stallions Committee will be responsible for having the statues “clear coated”.

Artists’ whose work is chosen will also be invited to attend the Kick-Off Party in January, 2023 as well as the Stallion Stampede Gala Auction April 15, 2023. 

We are counting on all of you wonderful artists out there to create incredible, original artwork that will amaze both local horse lovers and those who will travel to see the stallions. Participating in the Stallion Stampede! is a great way for artists to gain public recognition. Both sponsors and artists will be promoted in both print and social media, at events and on the streets. 

Artists who participate will create original, colored sketches of their designs for a fiberglass horse. The final horse that will be painted will either be in a sitting, grazing or standing position. 

Once all the Artists Committee has chosen an artist’s design, the Scottsdale Rotary Club Stallions Committee will notify you whether your design was selected. If your design was chosen, the Scottsdale Rotary Club Stallions Committee will make arrangements with you to have the stallion delivered for painting; or provide you a location to paint your stallion. All stallions MUST be completed by December 15, 2022.

1. The Scottsdale Rotary Club Stallions Committee will review all submissions for inclusion in the project. 

2. All artists will be informed even if their design was not selected by a sponsor. 

3. Artists will receive 20% commission from the gross auction price of the stallion if the stallion is sold through auction at the Auction Gala Event on April 15, 2023.
