Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau

The Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB) works to encourage and enhance cultural life and public art in the Rockford, Illinois region through facilitation, recognition, and financial support of public art. The organization’s Forest City Beautiful initiative includes a Sculpture Biennial consisting of a two-year installation of sculptors’ work for which each artist receives an honorarium of $2,000-$4,000, dependent on size/height/scope of installed selection. The RACVB is soliciting artists for the 2024-2026 Sculpture Biennial.
