Seeking mosaic artists

Mosaic at MSPThe Airport Foundation MSP, through the MSP Arts and Culture Program, seeks mosaic artists to provide designs for Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport’s (MSP) ongoing restroom remodeling initiative.

“This is a very visible, high recognition arts commission,” says Robyne Robinson, arts and culture director for the Airport Foundation MSP. “More than 32 million people travel through MSP Airport every year. Our goal is to give each and every person a unique perspective of Minnesota through the eyes of our most imaginative, aesthetically gifted residents.”   

The first restroom mosaics were installed in 2013 and can be found on both Concourse E and Concourse F at MSP. The mosaics can be seen by anyone passing by the facilities. (The mosaic shown is on Concourse E and was created by Barbara Keith.)

The restroom remodeling project is a multi-year project that will, in the end, result in all 100 sets of restrooms being updated. The overriding goal is to provide travelers an attractive and efficient restroom design. The artists’ work will help make these restrooms easily identifiable and add to the quality of the guest’s experience. 

Interested artists can download the Request for Qualifications at www.airportfoundation.org. Submissions are due July 31, 2015.
