Robertson Library seeks art submissions
The Robertson Library at UPEI is looking for Island artists who would like to help improve the aesthetics of the high-traffic lobby area on the library's upper floor. It is sponsoring its second public art competition to acquire a work of art that invokes creative images of culture, learning, and information. The competition focuses on art for the walls, but submissions may also include elements designed for other aspects of the space. Entries are encouraged from any artistic medium.
Artists should submit a letter of interest, accompanied by preliminary sketches or mock up, by August 31. Full terms of reference and details will be forwarded once expressions of interest have been made. Inquiries may be directed to Suzanne Jones at (902) 566-0393 or sjones@upei.ca. Check out the website at library.upei.ca for details or FAQs. Unless otherwise requested, all submitted materials will be retained by the library.
Submissions will be evaluated and a selection made by the end of September. The winning artist will receive a commission of $4,000 and have his/her work displayed in a very public area of the campus. Please send a letter of interest and materials to: Robertson Library Arts Committee, c/o Suzanne Jones, UPEI, 550 University Avenue, Charlottetown, PE C1A 4P3.
