SUNY Oswego seeks proposals for outdoor sculpture for the school’s main campus. Two artists will be chosen to install artworks in a centrally located lawn area adjacent to SUNY Oswego’s Campus Center. Selected works will be on view for a three-year exhibition and become part of SUNY Oswego’s campus. SUNY Oswego has a student body of 8,000 students on a 690 acre campus. It is situated on the shores of Lake Ontario adjacent to the City of Oswego, population 18,000\. 

  
**Design Considerations:**

The site of installation is a highly trafficked pedestrian area of the SUNY Oswego main campus. It is totally open to the elements and SUNY Oswego can be prone to very harsh winter weather conditions including high winds. Each sculpture will be sited on its own round 8’ diameter concrete pad. Installation pads will have no access to independent electricity, lighting, etc. Accepted sculptures must be designed to be securely bolted to this pad. It is suggested that wedge anchors of at least ½” thickness be used. 

  
Each proposal must include statements regarding how the sculpture will be secured, the durability of the sculpture, and how it will not negatively impact public egress or safety.
