Opportunity for Musqueam art installation at corner of Arbutus & King Edward – DEADLINE EXTENDED!

December 2, 2021
By Odette Wilson

Sperling Substation Art Installation

BC Hydro and Musqueam are seeking a Musqueam artist to design an original art or educational installation for the Sperling Substation. The installation will be displayed on a highly visible piece of land at West King Edward and Arbutus Street.

Request for Musqueam Artist Proposals

BC Hydro and Musqueam are requesting proposals from experienced and emerging Musqueam artists for an art installation.

The goal of the installation is to increase recognition of Musqueam’s ancestral territory in the area, bring a spirit and feeling of Musqueam community to the Arbutus Greenway, and reflect Musqueam art forms, history and contemporary culture.

Project specifications

This call is for a stand-alone installation on a 44m x 17m x 52m x 2.75 m piece of land off of Arbutus Greenway.

At this time, no specific type of installation is defined. Artists are encouraged to think creatively about how this space could be used.
