The Oregon Arts Commission is Pleased to Announce an Opportunity for Artists:
Western Oregon University Health & Wellness Center
Monmouth, Oregon

The Art Selection Committee for Western Oregon University’s (WOU) Health and Wellness Center seeks public artwork to enhance and unify this exciting state-of-the-art facility. Site-specific, integrated work is preferred given the early stage in this project’s development. The Center, situated near a main gateway to campus, houses an unusual mix of academic, recreational and athletic functions. Artwork promoting healthy attitudes, a strong sense of place as well as the commonality of its diverse functions, physically and conceptually is desired.

The Art Selection Committee is interested in artists whose work will further define and express a connected whole throughout the building. They will consider a diversity of styles, from contemporary and new media to more traditional design and materials. All works are expected to be of lasting and low-maintenance materials and design.

The Committee is only interested in reviewing artists’ past work. A short list of finalists will be invited to submit detailed proposals for which they will be paid a design fee.

Budget: The total budget for artwork for this project is $148,000. This budget may be divided between multiple contracts.

Deadline: Complete applications must be received in the Oregon Arts Commission office no later than 5pm Friday, January 29, 2010.
