2027 Annual Winged Feet Exhibition

The Hopkinton Center for the Arts (HCA) and 26.2 Foundation, both 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, invite artists of all ages to submit a proposal for a one-of-a-kind Winged Foot—a public art project celebrating the Boston Marathon and the spirit of Hopkinton!

26 artists will be selected. Each selected artist will transform a blank Winged Foot into an original work of art. The finished pieces will be displayed outdoors on the Hopkinton Town Common from April 9–30, 2027, and then auctioned to benefit HCA and the 26.2 Foundation.

How It Works

If your proposal is selected:

You'll receive a blank Winged Foot cut from Versatex.

You'll be paired with a local business sponsor, selected at random.

Your sponsor will provide a $250 stipend to help cover your art materials.

Stipends will be paid at the opening reception. If you can't attend, your stipend will be mailed to you.

Your finished Winged Foot will become part of the outdoor public art display and will later be available for auction.

There is NO submission fee! When submitting, please use coupon code MARATHON.

Each Winged Foot will be approximately 2 feet wide by 3 feet high and will be mounted on a metal pole at approximately eye level.

Your design must be:

Related to the Boston Marathon or the sport of running.

Family-friendly and appropriate for all ages

Weather-resistant and able to withstand outdoor conditions

Original and ready for public display
