NextGen Precision Health Public Art Initiative

The University of Missouri System invites artists to apply for public art projects for the Roy Blunt NextGen Precision Health Building. MU seeks artists or artist teams who currently reside in or have lived, studied, or worked in Missouri to create new site-specific art for two spaces on NextGen's first floor: one with a $50,000 budget and one with a $40,000 budget. At this time, artists should submit qualifications only, not a design proposal. Once finalists are selected, they will be invited to create design proposals and will be paid a stipend separate from the commission amounts. Application materials must be uploaded before 11:59 pm CST on April 25, 2023.

Location #1 (First Floor Alcove, $50,000): General measurements 53"H x 18'1" W or 46"H x 18'1" W. This west-facing space has moderate to high natural light. Works in metals, glass, ceramics, or mosaics are required; no works on paper or canvas will be considered.

Location #2 (First Floor Reception/Greeting Area, $40,000): General dimensions 10'H x 19'W. This east-facing interior wall has moderate natural light. Site-specific art could be framed under existing donor recognition signage or fill the wall with additional length down the hallway. Work samples must include 3-8 images, and may include up to 3 audio files and up to 3 video files. Commissioned artists must maintain general liability insurance coverage of $1 million per occurrence and name The Curators of the University of Missouri as Additional Insured.
