Sylvester Manor is delighted to announce [R]evolution, the third annual exhibition of outdoor sculpture and installations on the historic property. Following the resounding critical and public success of the Inaugural Exhibition and that of Paradise Lost in 2025, Sculpture @ Sylvester Manor is inviting artists whose practices have drawn meaning from the East End of Long Island to submit proposals for selection in the 2026 summer exhibition.
As in the past, artists are encouraged to submit works that are studio created and installed, created on site for the duration of the exhibition and then removed, or with leave no trace materials that bio-degrade back into the environment.
Curated by artworld veteran Tom Cugliani, the 2026 theme of [R]evolution commemorates the 250th signing of the Declaration of Independence, paired with those groundbreaking theories of evolution developed by Charles Darwin in the mid 19th century. The exhibition will be loosely organized around their mutually radical texts: The Origin of the Species by Darwin published in 1859 and Common Sense by Thomas Paine published in 1774.
If you would like to submit a proposal for consideration for the 2026 exhibition, please click here for submission guidelines.
