Wyoming artists encouraged to apply to call for public art

CHEYENNE – The University of Wyoming is constructing a new building that will house dining facilities, offices and student residential rooms. Through the state of Wyoming’s Art in Public Buildings program, artwork will be commissioned for the interior of the facility. A new call for entry for public art is now open.

A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is open to artists with a deadline of July 12. This is a national RFQ open to artists residing in the United States. Wyoming artists will be given preference.

The call and additional details are available on CaFE ( callforentry.org ) or the Wyoming Arts Council website ( wyomingartscouncil.org ). Submissions to the RFQ must be made through CaFE by the deadline listed. There is a committee for the project, tasked with reviewing applications, selecting finalists and making the final artwork selection. Wyoming artists are encouraged to apply.
