  • Brief Description

    Utah Tech University, in partnership with Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management and the Utah Division of Arts & Museums Public Art Program, requests qualifications from professional artists and/or artist teams interested in creating site-specific artwork(s) for the renovated performing arts center in St. George, commonly known as the Cox Arts Center.
    The Art Selection Committee expects to find an artist who will bring creative, thoughtful, and unique artwork to the project that communicates with the surrounding space. The Committee will be receptive to recommendations for the location of the artwork, with the hope that the artist will use the features of the building to their benefit in providing an impactful audience experience. Recommendations from the Committee include:
    The exterior fly tower walls
    The exterior south plaza
    The north “feature wall” of the main lobby
    The aerial space of the main lobby
