  • Public Art: Call for Entries
    Public Art: Call for Entries An Outdoor Art Project “We Are” Sculpture The Pennsylvania State University PURPOSE Penn State’s 2013 Senior Class voted to commission a “We Are” sculpture on campus as its gift to the University. The sculpture will represent the University’s iconic theme, "We Are." The words of the Penn State Alma Mater in the original handwriting of Fred Lewis Pattee will be incorporated into the piece. The words to the alma mater were written in April 1901 by Pattee, professor of American literature, and embody Penn State pride. The inscription on the sculpture will serve as a visual representation of what it truly means to be a Penn Stater, according to Morgan Delaware, overall chair of the Senior Class Gift Committee. "Class gifts go well beyond providing a tangible symbol of the loyalty and pride of a class; the class gift connects your class to every Penn State class before you," said Penn State President Rodney Erickson. "A 'We Are' sculpture enhanced with the words of the Penn State Alma Mater combines two of Penn State’s most cherished expressions of who we are ... It will certainly become a 'must see' landmark on campus." The tradition of class gifts began when the class of 1861, at its reunion in 1890, gave the University a portrait of Penn State’s first president, Evan Pugh, which still hangs in the lobby of Old Main. ELIGIBILITY This competition is open to all interested artists. Each artist may submit only one entry. SITE A national competition is being held for the commission of a sculpture adjacent to the east side of the Intramural Building on Penn State’s University Park Campus.
