Public Art Invitational for Artists/Design Teams

A team of committed volunteers--faculty, alumni, staff, and professionals--are working to bring beauty and inspiration into the Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion. The Art and Identity Initiative's charge is to bring expression to the guiding principles for the new Center and Augsburg's aspirations for a 21st century urban campus. Through art and identity, the Center and the key elements and spaces inside and surrounding it will illustrate a sense of beauty, harmony with place and a commitment to hospitality. As a way to express the transformative impact of the Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion, Augsburg will commission numerous works of art. Each piece will be commissioned through philanthropic sponsorship and displayed in various locations within this new signature academic building.

The Committee has retained Forecast Public Art and Storyslices LLC to assist with the initial call for teams interested in moving this initiative forward through an invitational RFQ. Anyone interested in this call should first read the eligibility requirements, which states that candidates need to have produced at least two public art commissions within the past five years.

Read the Art & Identity Request for Qualifications here: http://web.augsburg.edu/advancementservices/Art%20&%20Identity%20Request%20for%20Qualifications.pdf

Segregation Now, Segregation Forever - TODAY

Segregation now, segregation forever?

Thursday, January 14th
7-8:30 p.m. Spoken word and panel discussion
6:30 p.m. Refreshments and resources
East Commons, Christensen Center

61 years after the Brown v. Board of Education case, schools across the United States are more segregated than ever, including here in the Twin Cities. But research tells us that separate does not mean equal. Instead, separate often means that low-income students of color are concentrated in schools where the level of need is high, and the resources are sparse.

A new lawsuit, filed in Minneapolis in November 2015, aims to change this, by requiring the state of Minnesota to re-prioritize integration as a solution to educational disparities.

Join us for spoken word and a panel discussion on this new lawsuit, as we learn more about why this lawsuit is necessary, and what it might accomplish.
