  • Brief Description

    Utah artists are invited to submit letters of interest and qualifications for the creation of a site-specific exterior sculpture for the new 6th District Courthouse in Manti. Artists working in the counties of Juab, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier, and Wayne will be given special consideration. This project is a partnership of the Utah Public Art Program of the Division of Arts and Museums, in association with the Division of Facilities Construction and Management and Utah’s Administrative Office of the Courts.

    The Manti Courthouse Art Selection Committee has identified an exterior location for art placement to the west of the new courthouse, in a public courtyard along Main Street. The committee plans to commission two small-to-medium sculptures or one large sculpture. The ideal artist should be working within the Classical Tradition and have an understanding of Manti’s significance within Utah’s history.
