artists living in New Mexico. Project amount: $20,000. Improvements to

The Administration Building is the middle building between the Sun Van
Division to the north and the Bus Storage Facility to the south. The
insets will be surrounded on three sides by a concrete frame which
could support low-relief sculptural artwork. The theme for the Work of
Art may focus on one or more of the following ideas: (1) the
importance of public transportation in our community including bus and
trolley transportation, (2) children using public transportation (3)
pedestrians and walking in Albuquerque (pedestrians in motion), (4)
the elimination of pollution or (5) compliment the architectural style
of the Transit Building. The Work of Art should be whimsical or
lighthearted; should address pedestrians as they walk by the site, bus
and trolley riders as they pass the site and automobile
drivers/passengers using Yale Blvd; and should attract the viewer and
be able to be touched, and in a scale appropriate for the site. Media
for the Work of Art should be in a durable material, suitable for an
outdoor, low security environment. Electricity to illumine the
sculpture by night will be available. This is not a painted mural or
ceramic tile mural project. Open Competition. Artists living in New

start by reading Faulkner for at least ten years. The successful

well-advised to serve up his concoction with a dash of humility and
grace. After all, nobody writes like William Faulkner. How to Enter
the Contest: be sure to include a title for the entry, your name,
address and phone number. If you wish confirmation of receipt, enclose
a self-addressed postcard. By entering the contest, contestants
automatically release publication and promotion rights to Jack

Conference held each summer at the University of Mississippi. Send
