Summary: The University of Iowa, in Iowa City, Iowa is issuing this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from artists, artist teams or artist representatives to submit their qualifications for the creation of artwork for permanent installation at the Seamans Center South Annex. The project is currently in design and slated to begin construction in early 2016. This RFQ process will be followed by a Request for Proposal (RFP) process for up to four (4) finalists.

The overarching goal is for this work to communicate and showcase the beauty of core engineering concept(s) in a way that is profound, timeless and engaging. It should communicate engineering principles to all ages and levels of education and background in some way.
The budget for the resulting commission will be approximately $165,000. This includes all associated costs of creation, fabrication, shipment, installation/integration and display. A stipend of $2,000 will be provided to finalists upon completion and presentation of formal proposals.

The New Art Center’s Curatorial Opportunity Program (COP) is currently accepting proposals.
This open-call program investigates contemporary culture through the visual arts and makes diverse curatorial visions possible. It encourages emerging curators and artist-curators to realize experimental exhibitions within a large, non-profit exhibition space. We accept proposals involving two or more artists and at least one public presentation.
Our 2,500 square-foot gallery is a converted church with a 25-foot vaulted ceiling. Curators of accepted proposals receive a 1,000 USD stipend as well as administrative, installation, marketing & P.R. support.
The New Art Center has a 35-year tradition of using its Main Gallery for group exhibitions curated by an independent curator. Since May 1991, we have continued this tradition through our Curatorial Opportunity Program’s public call for proposals.
