Nebraska 1% for Art - Keim Hall Project
This public art opportunity is open for application to public artists/artist teams throughout the United States.

RFQ DEADLINE: MAY 18th, 2009
THEME: LEED-certified building for plant/soil agricultural studies; sustainable, green artwork concepts desired

Keim Hall is located on the East Campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It has multiple functions including classrooms, labs, research facilities and faculty and government offices.
Artwork sought for this project should reflect the identity of the building community with attention to the student experience. Students utilizing Keim Hall study agronomy, landscape design, plant and soil science and professional golf course management. The academic tenancy of the building promotes sustainable, green concepts in agriculture, horticulture, and land management. The renovation project itself is a LEED-certified construction project. These principles should be reflected in the successful artwork.
Siting of the artwork is flexible and several areas provide creative opportunities for artists. The front entrance, first and second floor common areas, student lounges and courtyard, among other sites, are available for artistic treatment. Contact J.D.
