TimberWest has issued a call for artists for its First Nation Cultural Art Showcase program, and has extended the deadline from May 25 to Friday, June 8.

“We are looking for three First Nation artists to represent one of the three major language groups on Vancouver Island (Nuu-chah-nulth territory, Kwakwaka’wakw territory and Coast Salish Territory),” TimberWest spokesperson Monica Bailey said.

The three artists will create eight to 12 pieces of commissioned work for TimberWest, and have an opportunity to showcase some commissioned work and their own art catalogue at a two-week art show at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria. An opening reception will be jointly hosted by the RBCM and TimberWest.
