The Maryland State Arts Council and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) are now accepting applications for the Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building public art project. Artists residing in the United States are eligible to apply. The permanent public artwork will be two-dimensional, integrated on three large interior walls viewable from the first and second floors in the main hallway – student commons area.
The artwork Concept Design Development fee is $20,000. The artwork project budget is $180,000. The Artist Selection Committee will select up to three to four artists or artist teams for in-person interviews. One final artist/artist team will be selected and enter into a Concept Design Development contract to develop the design for the artwork. When final design is approved, the artist or artist team will enter into a fabrication and installation contract with UMBC.
