Request for Art Proposals: UASU Indigenous Celebration Week
The University of Alberta Students' Union (UASU) is looking for an Indigenous artist to create art for our annual Indigenous Celebration Week (ICW). This artwork will be used for up to the next five years for ICW on branding materials for the event. 

Indigenous Celebration Week is a celebration of Indigenous culture, teachings and languages that aims to share knowledge and create positive energy for the Indigenous community on campus and its allies. The Week features events which are led by Indigenous elders and other community members as a way to honour traditional elements within a contemporary setting.

For the proposal we need a rough idea of your design concept and your portfolio. We can accept both digital and traditional mediums. The final product will be digitized. 

Preference will be given to local First Nations, Inuit and Métis artists. 

The compensation if selected will be $1000 CAD.

If you have any questions please email the UASU's FNMI Initiatives Specialist, Ella Thomson: ella.thomson@uasu.ca.

Previous ICW Artwork by Halie Finney
"I wanted to do a pack of coyotes running together in tall grass at night, I was thinking like a current of coyotes. Coyotes are an animal that are pretty widespread, they exist in urban spaces and rural, northern and southern, etc, I think everyone has a relationship with coyotes. The red ribbon emphasizes their unified motion and symbolizes the future/moving forward. The other coyotes are carrying sage which, I think, many indigenous cultures use for healing." - Halie Finney
