NORTH HAVEN NOSE HILL MURAL PROJECT
The North Haven Community Association is seeking to commission an artist or artist team to create a mural/visual artwork in our community. The proposed location is a pedestrian underpass that connects North Haven with Nose Hill Park. Our goal is to bring attention to the Indigenous history of Nose Hill, while making this entry to Nose Hill more inviting to users. We hope to work with an artist to create an artwork that will be a landmark for the surrounding communities and visitors to Nose Hill Park, and will create more awareness of the important Indigenous history of the site. The general theme of the project is the history of Indigenous use of the Nose Hill area, up to and including the present day. We are also interested in artworks that incorporate the landscape and natural features of Nose Hill, including the plants and animals of the park (both in the past and in the present day). We are interested in seeing a variety of interpretations of this general theme and encourage artists to bring their personal interest in Nose Hill into their artwork. The competition is open to any Indigenous artist from the Treaty Seven Nations or any Indigenous or Metis artist living and working in Treaty Seven Territory.
