Texas Tech University System seeks to commission a professional Artist to create a site-specific exterior sculpture(s) to be placed in between the Museum of Texas Tech University (https://www.depts.ttu.edu/museumttu/) and the National Ranching Heritage Center (https://ranchingheritage.org/). This project should be completed in early to mid-2026. Ideal submissions will create an art piece that provides a visible separation between the two institutions. Artists should think of the missions of both institutions and create a piece that can speak to both. This art installation will not only serve as a beacon in the area but will also give passersby visual interest as they walk between the two institutions.
Although this piece will provide a visual separation between the two institutions, there should be an element of transparency in the piece. Visitors are traveling between two different institutions. This artwork should help the transition from one space to the next without blocking the two institutions from each other. The art piece may need to be abstracted to address the mission of each institution. Photos of the location are included in the posting.
