Public Art Invitational for Artists/Design Teams
We're excited to share a new art and design opportunity with Augsburg alumni, staff, and faculty. A team comprised of faculty, alumni, staff, and art consultants are working to bring beauty and inspiration into the Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion, and you're invited to participate.
Augsburg has engaged Forecast Public Art to facilitate the commissioning of art works for the new Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion. You are invited to submit qualifications to be considered for this opportunity.
Read the Art & Identity Request for Qualifications (RFQ) here: http://web.augsburg.edu/ia/Hagfors_RFQ_6_15.pdf. The deadline for RFQ submission is July 19, 2016; all required materials must be received by 4 p.m. CDT. The Augsburg Art and Identity Committee will review applications and select up to 20 finalists to participate in a concept development phase.
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's key interior elements and exterior spaces 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.
We look forward to seeing your work!

ACYTI Closing Worship: June 24 at 11 a.m.
This week 15 high school students, 5 mentors, and 3 Theology & Vocation Fellows from around the country are participating in the annual Augsburg College Youth Theology Institute (ACYTI). They are exploring the theme of "Jesus Has Left the Building: Discipleship in the Public Square" through community-based experiences and classroom learning led by Dr. Jeremy Myers, and evening worships led by local musicians. Following their time at Augsburg, the students will spend the summer writing an essay on a topic of their choice related to the theme. These papers will be compiled in an online journal to be published in the fall. The program is a collaboration of the Christensen Center for Vocation, the Religion Department, and Campus Ministry. More information about ACYTI is available online: http://www.augsburg.edu/ccv/acyti/overview/
Augsburg community - you are invited and welcome to attend a closing worship with the group and their families at 11 a.m. tomorrow (Friday, June 24) in Hoversten Chapel. We will gather for worship and to give this great group of ACYTI students a warm Augsburg community send-off!
