A group of Indigenous artists in Prince George wants to build connections between northern Indigenous communities using transit.
The Northern Indigenous Arts Council is working with Diversified Transportation Ltd to select artwork from Indigenous artists affiliated with regional communities serviced by BC Bus North.
The artwork will adorn the four buses providing service between Prince Rupert and Prince George, Prince George and Valemount, Prince George and Fort St. John, and Fort Nelson and Dawson Creek.
“NIAC sees this as an opportunity for local Indigenous artists to bring their artwork to the people of the North without them leaving their communities”. It is not often that artists can apply their work to an outdoor traveling “venue” that covers such a big geographic area,” said Diane Levesque, President, Northern Indigenous Arts Council.
Artists are invited to submit to the Northern Indigenous Arts Council by 5:00 pm, May 7th.
The callout is open to Indigenous artists based in Northern B.C. .
