Call for Artists

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service on Jan. 13, 2020. It is reproduced in full below.

A new wayside exhibit is planned for Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. The wayside exhibit will be placed at the Gran Quivira unit of Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. We will need one artist that will capture the story we would like to tell on that exhibit.

The exhibit will capture the image of Sôr María de Ágreda and tell the story of her importance to the Jumanos and other native peoples in the Americas.

To initially indicate your interest in this project, please call 505-847-2585 x221. The next step will be to provide a draft sketch. After all the sketches are in, a committee from the art community of Mountainair and employees from the monument will choose which sketch best captures the story.

The artist will be paid a stipend and the monument will own the copyright and the finished product.

This call for artists is open from January 14-Jan. 31, 2020.

Please contact the monument at 505-847-2585 x221 for more information.
