Utah Public Art - Snow College Science Building

The Snow College Science Center is a new 56,600 square foot, three-story building on the Snow College campus in Ephraim, Utah that will house the College's Division of Science and Mathematics. The building will be situated on a prominent corner of the core campus, providing an opportunity to create a gateway element for Snow College. The design divides the building's program into two smaller buildings—a laboratory wing and a classroom/office wing—linked by a sweeping bridge and separated by a science courtyard. All three levels of the bridge will contain student study space that overlooks the courtyard.

The Selection Committee is seeking an artist to be a member of the design team to work collaboratively to create an art installation that incorporates into the building design. The Committee wants the artist's contribution to integrate with the theme of a living building to promote active science and inspire visitors of all ages to pursue science as a lifelong journey. The art should stir the soul, encourage contemplation, engage with other media and displays, and leave visitors with a sense of awe. Artists are encouraged to provide work samples demonstrating site-specific, scientifically appropriate, and integrated work. Possible site locations for art integration include the southwest building entry, electrical room wall, center stair at the bridge, and courtyard.

A budget of $126,000 is available for all related expenses of the Public Art commission, including artist fees, fabrication, insurance, shipping, travel, installation, documentation, and other costs. Resident American or legal resident artists and artist teams are encouraged to apply. Submissions may be made online at www.callforentry.org or by hard copy CD. The application deadline is December 7, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. MST. Work sample requirements: minimum 1 image, maximum 6 images.
