TAHLEQUAH - Northeastern State University has extended the deadline for artist applications
to create a bronze sculpture of Cherokee alphabet creator Sequoyah to Monday, Oct.
23, at 2 p.m.
The statue, set to be unveiled in August 2008 as NSU celebrates 100 years of excellence,
will lie south of Seminary Hall in the heart of Centennial Plaza, an area of campus
expected to undergo significant redesign. The area is traditionally recognized as
the official entrance to campus.
The NSU Centennial Sculptures Selection Committee will review the applications and
select five finalists. The finalists will present statue proposals to the committee,
which will select the best for the display.
