The Art-in-Architecture Program of the Capital Development Board is pleased to announce a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to Illinois professional artists for ARTWORK PURCHASES for the Western Illinois University Goldfarb Center for Performing Arts in Macomb, Illinois.
The Committee is seeking two-dimensional artwork or three-dimensional pieces suitable for hanging. There is no limit regarding type of media (i.e. painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, textiles, collage, mixed-media, metal, wood, etc.), but abstract or non-objective artwork is preferred at this phase, though all subject-matter is welcome. The artworks submitted do not need to be in a series/ diptych; they can be stand alone pieces.
The artworks must be durable, safe, and require limited to no maintenance.
