Aboriginal Art to Grace 2010 Winter Games’ Venues
An airy stream of metal salmon shimmering overhead, five intricately carved spindle whorls inspired by curling rocks, and three long-limbed wolves howling in unison on the Prairies are among the beautiful works of art by more than 90 Aboriginal artists that will grace the 2010 Winter Games’ venues as part of the Vancouver 2010 Venues’ Aboriginal Art Program.
First Nations, Inuit and Métis artists participating in the program are from every province and territory in Canada and represent some of the country’s most established and up-and-coming Aboriginal artists.
More than 140 individual pieces of original artwork will be produced as part of the $2 million CAD Venues’ Aboriginal Art Program, with over 40 of these pieces becoming part of the Games’ permanent legacy at the venues.
Sixteen Four Host First Nations artworks will have pride of place in areas such as entrances and gateways at venues like Pacific Coliseum and the Olympic and Paralympic Village in Vancouver.
