The Art Department, in partnership with the Chancellor’s program on International Relations, invites artists’ proposals for an edition of commemorative artwork. The selected work must represent the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, be easily transportable, and function as a token of gratitude to host countries and a gift to visiting dignitaries. The budget (including artist’s stipend, materials, and labor for 200 copies—25 of which will function as an “exclusive edition”) is $1300. Open to UW-Parkside students and alumni only.

Proposal materials are due October 22, 5pm in CART D113. If selected for the project, the artist must have at least 7 completed copies by Nov 1, 2014, with the remaining 193 completed before January 31, 2015.

Proposal materials

UW-Parkside students interested in securing this opportunity must submit the following to the selection committee on October 22, 5pm, in CART D113:

• A prototype of the proposed artwork, both in its general and “exclusive” form.
• An outline of the budget, including amount for stipend, materials, and labor.
• A brief statement describing artist’s plan (use of equipment, external services, etc.) to complete the full edition.
• A one paragraph description of the concept.
