Artist Commission

Neighborhood Unitarian Universalist Church (Neighborhood Church) seeks an artist to create an original work for our newly designated “Remembrance and Renewal Room.” The intention of this project is to bring a physical presence and inspiration to the ongoing reparative work being done through the Truth & Reconciliation Committee at Neighborhood Church to address the mixed legacy of Dr. Robert A. Millikan. Dr. Millikan was a prominent, 15-year board member at Neighborhood Church, a trustee and president of the Huntington Library, the head of Caltech
and a Nobel Prize-winning physicist. However, he was also a leader within an eugenics organization that promoted the unsolicited sterilization of primarily people of color, the disabled, and poor. The eugenics organization of which he was a part, The Human Betterment Foundation, provided a conscious model for ethnic cleansing conducted by the Nazis during the WWII era. The art installation will join the reconciliation and reparative work that began in 2017 and continues in the present, through education, resource redistribution, and political action.

The ideal proposal will be for an artwork, or series of smaller works–either originals or
reproductions–that will have a significant impact within the modestly-sized room, and honor those whose lives were impacted by the forced sterilization promoted by Dr. Millikan’s work. The selection committee is looking for work that centers the impacted families and celebrates their strength, resilience, and endurance. This can hopefully be balanced with the room’s many purposes and functions for the congregation.

Salary: $5,000

Benefits: There is a $5,000 budget for the project that should cover production and an artist fee. Installation will be covered outside of this amount.

Education requirements: None.

Deadline to apply: October 4, 2024

Documents required to apply: Other

How to apply: Review the entire RFP here. Applications should be submitted through this form. Email nuuc.artproposals@gmail.com with any questions.
