Art21 wants to hear from YOU

Got a story to tell about graduate school? There's a really cool opportunity to get it out there through the Art21 Blog's new Open Enrollment column.

It would be so great for students in the UArts program to participate in this because your graduate experience is a unique mix of independence and community. I hope you'll contact them (the deadline is March 5), and that I'll see your blog posts soon...

Public Art Opportunity-Philadelphia

SEPTA Art in Transit Program, Greater Philadelphia
Call for Artists - Art In Transit
Deadline: March 26, 2010

Artists living in the Greater Philadelphia area are invited to apply for a public art commission. Artists are asked to envision permanent artwork that will be seen by tens of thousands of pedestrians, shoppers, residents, motorists and SEPTA riders commuting through or passing by stations each day.

http://septa.org/ait/

The Art In Transit Program is designed to incorporate art elements into renovation and construction projects for selected stations and public transportation facilities. The program allocates up to one percent of the construction budget of capitally funded projects for the design, fabrication and installation of permanent artwork. The purpose of the Art in Transit Program is to create a more inviting and dynamic transit environment for regular and new riders and to foster a feeling of pride within the surrounding community.
