What is Rocky on Parade?

Imagine a pack of larger-than-life fiberglass bulldog sculptures, designed and created by artists, on long-term public display. While the base form of each bulldog sculpture will remain the same, each bulldog will have a unique design. Rocky On Parade is a public art project that salutes the University's traditions, celebrates the unity of campus and community, contributes to the economic vitality and quality of life of the Macomb community, and supports student scholarships and research initiatives.

Rocky on Parade invites artists to submit designs for their chance to decorate a bulldog that will later be placed in public. Each sculpture- "wearing" nothing but factory-applied primer- awaits an artist's creative vision to transform it into a vibrant work of art. Individual artists and artist groups are all welcome to apply. There is no cost associated with submitting an entry for consideration.

For more information or to download the application, click here, or call the WIU Art Department at 309-298-1549.

All applications must be postmarked by March 25, 2013.

-This project will provide optimum exposure for the artist's work.
-The artists will garner media attention throughout the state and beyond.
-Each selected artist will be featured on all Rocky on Parade marketing materials, including online with a link to the artist's website and/or Facebook page.
-Each Rocky on Parade bulldog will have a plaque attached to the base acknowledging the artist who created the sculpture.
