MTech Trades & Technology Building - Utah Public Art Commission

Utah Arts & Museums is seeking artist qualifications for a public art commission at Mountainland Technical College's new Trades and Technology Building in Lehi, Utah. The deadline for materials is March 1, 2019.

Mountainland Technical College (MTECH) is developing a new facility to house trades education programs including Automotive, Diesel, Advanced Manufacturing, Welding, CNC/Machining, and Information Technology. The building design emphasizes natural light, views to the Wasatch Mountains, and transparency to showcase the trades and technology programs. The Committee has identified potential sites for art placement including exterior areas on the north side, three large interior surfaces in the north corridor facing the curtain wall, and an approximate 30' tall by 10' wide air space at the curtain wall and entry lobby. The Committee is open to discussion of other sites as envisioned by the artist and may commission more than one artist.

A budget of $202,000 is available for all related expenses including artist fees, fabrication, insurance, shipping, travel, installation, and documentation. Resident American or legal resident artists and artist teams are eligible. Utah artists are encouraged to apply. Submissions should include 1-6 images. Art selection committee members and immediate families, board members, and employees of Method Studio or Utah Division of Arts and Museums are not eligible.
