Health Professions Building Mural Art Installation

Lane Community College and the Health Professions Building Art Selection Committee are seeking an artist(s) to create site-specific artwork for the HPB, located on Lane's main campus at 4000 East 30th Ave, Eugene, Oregon. This opportunity is open to established artists working locally and throughout the United States. The deadline to apply is 11:59pm on June 3, 2024. The budget to complete the artwork is $110,000, inclusive of all costs including labor, materials, equipment, insurance, travel, and required documentation.

The new HPB will co-locate several Health Professions programs (Medical Assistant, Emergency Medical Technician, Dental Assisting, and Dental Hygiene). The design celebrates Lane Community College's role in supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community through education and employment. The HPB will serve as a campus gateway and important navigational landmark. The addition of exterior murals is central to the architectural team's vision for the building. Committee priorities include North Elevation Mural, South Elevation Mural, and Interior Mural, with additional walls (East and West Elevation Murals) available as funding allows. The exterior walls are cement plaster with an integral acrylic finish, and interior walls are primed gypsum wallboard. Exterior locations at the north and south entrance porticos are illuminated at night.

Artwork should be comprehensive and provide unity to the building; encourage movement through the building; provide a sense of welcome as a gateway; represent the diversity of the institution and address principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion; be visible from a distance; and read well both from a distance and up close. Applicants must submit a letter of interest (maximum 1 page), artist resume (maximum 2 pages), and work samples consisting of up to 10 JPEG images and up to 3 videos, with a corresponding image identification list. All materials must be received by 11:59pm on June 2, 2024. For questions, contact Lee Imonen at [email protected] or [email protected].
