SANDPOINT — City officials are inviting artists to apply for the Silver Box Project, a public art on loan program.

Three sculptures will be selected by jury process for an approximately one-year loan, city officials said. The artwork will be mounted on stainless steel bases located in downtown Sandpoint and promoted through various media. Selected artwork/artists will receive a $1,000 honorarium for the temporary display of their work.
