art on the trail 2025-2027

The Greenwood Parks & Recreation Department in cooperation with The Greater Greenwood Arts Council, invites you to participate in our 2025-2027 juried, on-loan, public art exhibit. This open call is for outdoor three-dimensional art. The selected artists will be awarded $3,000 for the two-year loan

project.

Polk Hill Trail was built in 2004 as part of a greater Trails and Greenways Master Plan. It is adjacent to Smith Valley Road which is a gateway to the city of Greenwood. Surrounded by a golf course, residential homes, apartments, and condominiums, it leads to a pedestrian bridge and Craig Park. Many viewers of the artwork will be vehicular traffic; however, the trail is a multi-use trail.
