Deadline: August 1, 2006

The Utah Public Art Program / College of Eastern Utah, San Juan Campus announces a call for qualifications, proposals or appropriate existing work from artists or artist teams interested in creating or placing art in the public spaces of the new Health Sciences and Library Building in Blanding Utah. The deadline for submittal is August 1, 2006 with a total arts budget is $40,000. The committee has expressed a desire for the themes and designs of this art commission(s) to take into consideration the placement of this building not only as a part of the campus, but as a part of the wider region, including the interconnection and interdependence of the area's natural history with its human history, cultural diversity/unity, and the tenacity required to thrive in a desert environment. Regional and Native American artists are encouraged to apply.

Potential sites for this public art commission are: (1) the interior lobby airspace below the skylight, (2) the exterior courtyard embraced by the stone wall façade, and (3) interior walls that adjoin the lobby space, on floors one or two.
