Oxford, MS and University of Mississippi Campus
The Yoknapatawpha Arts Council is pleased to invite artists to submit proposals for the Yokna Sculpture Trail (YST) for the 2026–2028 cycle. Thanks to the generous support of the Mississippi Arts Commission and the University of Mississippi, the artist honorarium has been increased to $3,000, and there is no submission fee.
Selected works will be installed along the Yokna Sculpture Trail, providing artists with a unique opportunity to present their work in a highly visible public setting that engages residents, students, and visitors year-round. The Yokna Sculpture Trail is a rotating outdoor exhibition that celebrates contemporary sculpture while activating public spaces throughout Oxford and the University of Mississippi campus.
Artists working in a wide range of materials and approaches are encouraged to apply. Full submission guidelines, eligibility requirements, and the online application can be found here: Yokna Sculpture Trail Application
