Call to Indigenous Artists: Westminster Pier Park Expansion, City of New Westminster

[https://akimbo.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/jun14_newwestminster1.jpg]

Call for Expressions of Interest:
Westminster Pier Park Expansion

The City of New Westminster seeks a Coast Salish artist or artist team to create public art for a new riverfront park.

The riverfront is an important site for many Indigenous communities and is an opportunity to share a deeper understanding of these territories and enrich the experience of the park for residents and visitors.

The City is at the early stages of understanding on whose core territories it has settled on. The following six local Nations have let the City know that they have connections to New Westminster: q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil Waututh) and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish). Indigenous artists who identify from these six nations are especially encouraged to apply.

This is a design-only opportunity with a priority on local Indigenous artists from these territories. Artists are not expected to project manage fabrication or installation for this contract.
