• PROSPECTUS: Colorado Mesa University is looking to acquire multiple artworks from multiple artists for the Health Sciences building. Due to the building's design and limited floor space, 2D works are the main format of artwork that will be considered. Works may include relief sculpture, as long as they are wall-mounted and do not protrude more than 4". The Selection Committee will consider artworks of all media, including but not limited to, paintings, photography, mixed media, and fabric. There are a few different wall sizes available to hang artwork in the building, so artworks of various sizes will be considered. The building has several hallways that can accommodate artwork of varying sizes, as well as a large student lounge that has space for multiple works. These large walls can accommodate artwork up to 8' long by 10' wide. There are also smaller wall spaces available for artworks in the student lounge, hallways, and conference rooms in the buildings.
  There are also a few opportunities for 3D artworks and sculpture for the building. Exterior areas include the exterior entrance of the building and multiple outdoor pavilion areas. If submitting a 3D artwork for one of these sites, please note that the listed price should include all relevant installation costs or necessary display elements.
  The Selection Committee would like artists to consider the building's use as the home of the nursing and medical technology departments when submitting available works. The Committee would also like submitting artists to note the contemporary design and nature of the building.

  • Artist's Location- artist must be based in Colorado or Utah
