Call for Artists

VCH is seeking an artist from Musqueam Nation to design a wall mural and related Coast Salish designs/motifs that can be reproduced as printed vinyl applications throughout the facility. The value of the contract is $6,000. The artist is not required to paint the wall mural. However, if the artist has experience painting wall murals and wishes to do so, VMF may at their discretion negotiate additional terms, including the painting of the wall mural, and additional compensation.

We will be asking the selected artist to reflect the following themes in the wall mural and related Coast Salish designs/motifs. The general theme is the story of the land before concrete, which was developed in consultation with local Indigenous knowledge keepers. This includes:

Giants (trees)

Water

River

Bulrushes

Bridgeshere

The artist will be selected by a panel including representatives from VCH. Representatives from Musqueam Nation will also be invited to participate on the evaluation panel. Emerging artists are strongly encouraged to apply.
