UPEI’s Robertson Library calls for art submissions
The University of Prince Edward Island is looking for an Island artist who would like to help beautify the Robertson Library by transforming the look of the nine existing cement pillars scattered throughout the current Learning Commons area, on the Library's main floor.
With that purpose, the Library is sponsoring a ‘Public Art Competition' in order to acquire works of art for these pillars that will spark the imagination. Entries are encouraged from any artistic medium.
Those interested in participating are asked to submit a letter expressing that interest accompanied by preliminary sketches or a mock-up by September 30, 2011 to:
Robertson Library Arts Competition
c/o Suzanne Jones
Robertson Library, UPEI
550 University Avenue
Charlottetown, PE
C1A 4P3.
Full competition terms of reference and details will be forwarded once expressions of interests have been made. Inquiries regarding this competition can be directed to Suzanne Jones by calling 902-566-0393 or emailing sjones@upei.ca. For more details or FAQs, visit library.upei.ca.
Submitted materials will be evaluated and a selection made by the end of October 2011. The winning artist will receive a commission of $4000 in addition to seeing the selected work displayed in a very public and high-traffic area on campus.
Unless otherwise requested, all submitted materials will be retained by the Library.
