Artwork for the renovated Lippitt Hall at the University of Rhode Island's Kingston campus (URI) is being commissioned through Rhode Island's Public Art Law, which mandates that 1% of all state capital construction and renovation funds be allocated to the purchase and maintenance of public art. Through this program the State recognizes that "public art creates a more humane environment: one of distinction, enjoyment, and pride for all citizens." In response to the RFQ, applicants are asked only to provide a short description of their proposal for artwork at the site along with a rough outline of expenses totaling no more than $65,000. Entry fee.
