Horizons ‘Arts-Nature’ in Sancy, scheduled from 20 June to 27 September 2026, is calling for works of ephemeral plastic works created specifically for the Massif du Sancy open-air art exhibition.
The call for projects launched by the Sancy Tourist Office is for the creation of 10 artworks to be installed across the towns and villages of the Massif du Sancy local council community.
First and foremost, this event aims to be an enduring project with a regional flavour that will unite communities and local cultural and tourism partners. The exhibits will be installed at sites that help to highlight the natural surroundings.
Potential sites for the installation of the artworks will be chosen on the basis of the following criteria:
- Aesthetic and artistic appeal
- Natural sites
- Variety of landscapes (peak, lake, forest, open space, etc.)
- Visitor facilities in the vicinity (car park, rest area, etc.)
The sites are made available for the duration of the event. These may be private or municipal properties, with or without the presence of the owner/farmer. They consist mostly of farmland devoted to summer grazing with the presence of cattle, sheep or horses, or to crops that are cut during the season.
An artistic remuneration in an amount of 8,000 EUR including all taxes will be attributed to each artist or group of artists selected including: 6,500 EUR in artistic costs and 1,500 EUR in royalties (recommended proportion). This includes travel costs.
