Laramie County Community College Student Services and University Center Sculpture Call

Laramie County Community College (LCCC) is seeking an iconic sculpture for the exterior of the Student Services and University Center, a new 85,000 square foot building scheduled for completion in December 2016. Two possible locations have been identified: the north/public entrance or the south/student entrance and quad area. Artists are welcome to suggest specific sites based on the site plan and may submit proposals for one or both locations.

The selection committee is particularly interested in work that expresses the new phase and forward direction of the college, represents LCCC identity, reflects the building's purpose, or expresses students' paths at the college. The committee encourages dynamic work that incorporates or alludes to LCCC programs and is site-specific for the LCCC campus. All styles, conceptual approaches, and mediums are encouraged, including a blend of traditional and contemporary, abstract, or western work. Proposed artwork must be durable, structurally sound, secure, site appropriate, and easy to maintain. If lighting is desired, it should be included in plans and budget.

Up to $60,000 is available for artwork, including all design fees, material costs, labor for fabrication and installation, identification label or plaque, and all necessary costs for planning, completion, delivery, and installation. A separate amount is available for maquette development and travel to site for presentation if necessary. Initial application materials are due June 3, 2016 via CaFÉ. The selection committee will review proposals in June and July 2016. Select artists may be asked to submit a complete formal design presentation with modest financial compensation. Presentations will take place in Cheyenne, Wyoming, with a decision expected by August 2016. This is a national call.
