The Art in Public Places Program of New Mexico Arts and the University of New Mexico seek to commission artwork for the new Architecture Building located on the main campus in Albuquerque, NM. The committee seeks a timeless, highly visual original artwork that will enhance the exterior of the building. The committee is interested in artwork that makes use of light in any or all of its forms including but not limited to projected images, LCD, neon, and natural light. While the selected artist may make use of any or all of the building’s exterior, the focus of the work should be on the main 25’ x 48’ wall that has been designated for this purpose.
The project is open to all artists residing in the United States. Artists must receive a prospectus to apply.
