- Size Specifications: There are no size specifications as there are a variety of spaces throughout the facility that could be opportunities for art that resonates with the students and faculty. That said, think of the building like any elementary, middle or high school—the halls tend to be long and sweeping, while the practice rooms and classrooms tend to be of a more intimate scale. We would think anything under ~12"x12" would be lost in the architecture, and anything over ~8'x8' would be difficult to place, save for on the "feature wall" in the lobby.
- Glazing: Yes, glass or acrylic glazing for any framed works is acceptable and encouraged.
- Hanging Hardware Requirements: We will likely be installing the work with specialty hardware so as long as the work is delivered with a solid frame or stretcher bars, other hardware such as floreats, wiring, or d-rings is not necessary.
- Donations: Yes, the art committee will consider artworks made available as a donation.
