Regional & National Public Art Calls - FL Artists Eligible

This classified posting is updated with regional and national public art calls in which Florida artists are eligible to apply. 

• University of Central Florida – UCF Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion
  • Location is the First Floor, Two-Story North lobby, that represents the “heart of the building”. We seek an artwork that will be suspended from the ceiling. Any costs associated with the lighting and support of the piece is not the artist’s responsibility. Media should be glass or other materials that are reflective or translucent. The impact of one nurse has a cascading effect, touching the lives of many, including the individual patient, the family, the community, and the art and science of nursing. Symbolism can be incorporated into the art to convey the endless possibilities that a UCF nurse can have on the world.
