Community Art Legacy The hometown is the dearest place on earth; why not make it more beautiful? Lorado Taft Sculpture is a defining element in our community. The impact of sculpture in the Oregon area began with Lorado Taft and the Eagle’s Nest Artists Colony. This legacy affects our community visually, socially, and is often overlooked economically. The Fields Project and inBronze Foundry, Mt. Morris, have joined together to continue building on this tradition through our Community Art Legacy program. Our goal is both ambitious and attainable. The intent of the program is to place sculptures in prominent locations throughout the Oregon area by installing ten bronze sculptures in the next ten years. The schedule begins by inviting sculptors to participate in The Fields Project Fine Arts Festival each year in June. Any sculptor who participates in the art show is eligible to enter a maquette into the sculpture competition. In September a select jury chooses the winning sculpture. The enlarged sculpture is delivered to inBronze Foundry in January, and the finished piece is unveiled at the following year’s Fields Project Fine Arts Festival. inBronze Foundry has committed to cast the enlarged piece at no charge, donating the cost of casting the sculpture. Individuals, businesses, corporations or groups can be part of this program by sponsoring the $2,000 artist award, or making contributions to cover the costs associated in making the mould of the original sculpture. The entity that receives each year’s sculpture will be acknowledged for covering all installation costs. Become a part of the Community Art Legacy add to our art heritage by pledging a donation each year to cover the cost of the mold that is part of the artist award. Each year’s pledges go 100% directly to the corresponding year’s sculpture, all administrative cost are paid for by The Fields Project. The Fields Project, Inc. is a non-for-profit organization with a 501C3 designation granted by the Internal Revenue Service. Contributions are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
