Call for Art Submissions For New Welcome Center Fast Approaching

The deadline for Art in Public Buildings artists' portfolio submissions for the new Southeast Wyoming Welcome Center in Cheyenne is fast approaching. Portfolio submissions must be postmarked by September 2, for consideration. The new Welcome Center is scheduled to open in mid-2012. Construction has begun along I-25 at mile marker 4.9 just north of the Colorado/Wyoming border. The committee for the Art in Public Buildings Project has identified two areas as potential sites for public accessible art installations. The call for entries and additional project information is available through the Wyoming Arts Council website at wyoarts.state.wy.us. Application for this project will be a two-phase process. Initially, artists are encouraged to submit a defined portfolio of work along with support documentation that includes a short narrative of potential design concepts and mediums. Following review, the committee will invite select artists to develop site-specific proposals to be reviewed in December 2011.
