The family of the late

Ronald Edward “Bud” Sparrow Jr. kʷeneʔtən

Raise their hands and give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who gave their condolences on his passing, for all of the handshakes and returns, and to everyone who provided support in our time of need. We deeply appreciate our Musqueam community, especially everyone who came forward and assisted the family with the work that was done to ensure Bud was honoured and his wishes were fulfilled. His final journey was peaceful and he was surrounded by love.

We take comfort in knowing he is reunited with loved ones and doing what he loves the most, fishing alongside his father, grandfather and uncles and sharing fun times, laughter and jokes with family and old friends.

“May calm seas and fair winds guide you home”

Musqueam UBC SHCS Canopy Art Project 1

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR ARTIST(S) FROM MUSQUEAM NATION FOR

WALKWAY CANOPY: GLASS GLAZING PATTERN AND STRUCTURE COLOUR FOR

NEW UBC RESIDENCE OUTDOOR PRECINCT INTRODUCTION The University of British Columbia (UBC) is a public research university with campuses in Vancouver and Kelowna, British Columbia. It serves 55,000 students on its Vancouver campus (28% international), and hosts upwards of 2 million campus visitors each year. A new student residence complex on the UBC Vancouver campus is scheduled to open in fall 2021 and includes five residential buildings that will house 940 upper-year students. UBC Student Housing and Community Services (SHCS) is overseeing all aspects of this project. SHCS (formerly Student Housing and Hospitality Services) partnered with Musqueam to name həm̓ləsəm̓ and q̓ələχən Houses in 2011, and cə̓snaʔəm House in 2017 at Totem Park Residence. There is a joint Musqueam/SHCS storytelling committee that has been developing educational materials and opportunities for students to learn more about the land, language, culture, and history of the Musqueam people. This project is also in support of the core tenets of the Memorandum of Affiliation signed between UBC and Musqueam in 2006. Among the Memorandum’s tenets are commitments to create a visual Musqueam presence on campus and increase Musqueam programming and curricula. SCOPE OF WORK Musqueam Indian Band and UBC SHCS are seeking original concepts from aspiring and established Musqueam artists. The result of this commission will be original artwork for the pre-designed walkway canopy structure. Only a preliminary sketch and outline is required at application. After the artist is selected, preliminary designs will be discussed with the production team and developed into a final image and a vectorized graphic to scale according to production specifications. The selected artist will be required to:

• Attend 3-4 Musqueam-UBC SHCS storytelling committee meetings • Provide multiple specifically-sized design drawings for glass frit on the canopy (which we would

repeat as needed) • Provide suggested art feature(s) for the canopy metal frame • Provide a colour suggestion for the canopy metalwork frame

PURPOSE & PROJECT GOALS UBC SHCS wishes to foster a stronger connection between student residents, staff, and visitors who live and work on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people through the commissioning of artwork that can be applied to three large-scale canopy structures. This work will be

Musqueam UBC SHCS Canopy Art Project 2

accompanied by additional storytelling materials inside each building, as well as landscaping and exterior plant signage designed in consultation with Musqueam. SELECTION PROCESS The final design will be selected by a committee composed of representatives designated by Musqueam Indian Band and UBC SHCS. The successful candidate will then work collaboratively with key stakeholders including Musqueam, UBC SHCS, and architects to refine a final design. CONSIDERATIONS + SPECIFICATIONS • Review the attached project map (Appendix 1), preliminary canopy renderings (Appendix 2), and

examples of glazing patterns and production information (Appendix 3) to consider possibilities. • Designs: It is mandatory that the design should reflect Musqueam traditions and art. • Symbolism: Consider concepts of teaching, learning, transformation, sustainability and/or wellness

• Finalized artwork is not required. Exact specifications are to be determined collaboratively. • Shadows: There is an opportunity to be creative with the use of shadows and the potential for

patterns to appear on the ground in the sunshine. • Language: If the successful submission includes the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language, the artist will be asked

to collaborate with the Musqueam Language and Culture Department. SELECTION CRITERIA The artist who best aligns with the project considerations and specifications will be chosen by the selection panel.

COMPENSATION - $10,000* The selected artist will be compensated once the full design for the glass frit has been completed and they have provided design suggestions for the metalwork frame.

Pearson Dogwood Redevelopment is a long-term care home that will address high priority health care needs through the redevelopment of two older residential care facilities, George Pearson Centre and Dogwood Lodge. It will also bring together a number of community programs serving South Vancouver to support local residents with a full range of health services and support.

Vancouver Coastal Health is seeking proposals from artists (selected by a panel of cultural experts from Musqueam Nation) for two Territorial Markers to be carved and then erected at the entrance of Parcel B, where they will be viewed from all sides by passing staff, residents, families, visitors, and passersby.

2) Post Design: Both posts will be installed around the steel beam in a 360 design, or can be a 1/2 round panel design, or can be 2 panel design installed on the front and back of the beam. Artist(s) may include an image of their design and its installation in their EOI. A base support is provided by the beams but extra stabilization support should be considered in the design. The posts should be weatherproof. It is mandatory that the design expresses authenticity in the Musqueam Art form and not the style of other Nations.

3) Post Dimensions: 14-feet. Artists may choose to include / add on the cost of acquiring one 14-foot log in their EOI response. See image below for post measurements.

4) Post Carving / Construction: Artists will need to organize their own carving shed / area for their log during

the build process. Artist(s) will need to organize the delivery of the completed pole, and provide supervised direction of its installment.

ARTIST SPECIFICATIONS:

Artists who submit an EOI must: 1) Be from / affiliate to Musqueam 2) Be willing to build their house post according to the specifications listed

SELECTION PROCESS:

The successful artist who best aligns with the specifications listed will be chosen by the selection comittee. The inclusion of youth mentorship is encouraged. The successful House Post design will be chosen on its artistic merits, traditional storyline and interview process/presentation of idea – the budget will not be the deciding factor in choosing the successful artist.

The committee will be prioritizing the selection of two artists/designs; 1 artist/s for each House Post.

EOI REQUIREMENTS: Interested artists must submit their Expression of Interest in writing which includes the following components: An initial concept design (front and back view) in the form of sketches or drawings and associated story
