College of Public Affairs and Community Service building public artwork
The University of Nebraska at Omaha College of Public Affairs and Community Service
(CPACS), in accordance with the State of Nebraska One Percent for Art legislation, seeks
artwork for the new College of Public Affairs and Community Service building, presently under
construction on the campus of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, in Omaha, Nebraska. A
committee has been formed to administrate this process: the CPACS Artwork Selection
Committee.
The artwork requirements consists of three separate projects. Artists may propose artwork for
any, or all, of these:
1. North Entrance Aerial Installation/Sculpture (BUDGET: $40-60,000)
2. Multi-Departmental Storefronts (Eleven objects) (BUDGET: $70-90,000)
3. West Entrance Exterior Space Installation/Sculpture (BUDGET: $25,000)
The CPACS Artwork Selection Committee's interest is in timeless, highly visual, original
permanent artwork. This artwork will enhance the student and visitor's experience of the
CPACS building architecture and learning environment while addressing the unique connection
that exists between the student body, faculty and community as defined by the CPACS mission
statement, departmental themes and college culture.
