Turku UAS is looking for artworks made by the alumni

As a part of KampusART arts programme, an open call for portfolios is opened for alumni from Turku UAS Arts Academy. In the call, we look for works of art to be joined in the art collection of Turku University of Applied Sciences.

Portfolios can be submitted by alumni from Turku UAS’ Arts Academy and working groups formed by them. The alumni include all those who have graduated from and worked at Turku UAS Arts Academy (incl. alumni from Turku Drawing School or Turku School of Art and Communication). The call is open from 4 to 31 October 2021.

The works of art acquired through the call for portfolios are to be placed in two stairways in different sides of EduCity. We hope that the works of art bring interesting and surprising details to the staircases. In relation to the artwork, the viewer is moving, and the angle of looking at the artwork varies from top to bottom and vice versa, and past the artwork.

The purpose is that the works of art acquired through the call and the works of art already placed in EduCity constitute a versatile and high-quality entity. The artworks acquired from the alumni will be joined as a part of Turku UAS’ art collection.

The artistic working group of KampusART arts programme will process the portfolios by the end of November. Based on the proposals for acquiring the artworks by the artistic working group, the acquisition decisions of the works of art are made by the steering group of the arts programme by 31 December 2021.
