Request for proposal: Artwork to Honor Student Employees

The University of New Mexico College of University Libraries and Learning Science (ULLS) is soliciting proposals for a permanent durable art piece installation to commemorate student employee graduates of the College. Funding for student employee recognition programs in the ULLS has been generously provided by long-time supporters Jim and Mary Lois Hulsman.

The art piece will include student names and graduation dates and will be constructed such that it can be easily updated annually with a list of new student graduates. Examples on campus include Rhodes Scholar and Student Athletes GPA displays in the Student Union Atrium.

Artist will receive $750 honorarium and up to $1500 for supplies.

Proposals will be accepted through February 22 and the successful proposal will be announced soon afterwards.
