UW vision for the art<\/strong>
\nThrough a process managed by ArtsWA, the UW Art Selection Committee will select an artist or artist team to create public art for Anderson Hall or its environs. The Art Committee is interested in artwork that evokes or reflects on the innovative and varied coursework that takes place within Anderson. Information about the research, teaching, and engagement of the school is available at – Students. Other sources of inspiration may include the history and
\narchitecture of the building and surrounding architecture, or the traditions of the region\u2019s indigenous populations. Artwork may be sited within or outside the building, or both, and the selected artist will have the opportunity to work with the Anderson design team during the proposal stage.<\/p>\n
