Bethel College Social Work Call for Artwork (Due Mar. 15)
Bethel College Social Work Call for Artwork
Deadline: March 15th, 2025
Bethel College Social Work is celebrating 50 years and the anniversary committee would like to commission a sculpture or similar piece of outdoor, visual art to be placed on campus, representing the themes and values of social work.
The Bethel College Social Work Department would like to see a piece of artwork that represents a future of dignity, hope, and/or justice. We are committed to the concept of restoration and repair, as we learn about past harm and simultaneously commit to dignity for all people. The committee would love to see submissions that represent the prioritization of underrepresented groups, through image or artist representation. The committee prefers something that is abstract with a modern design.
