Call For səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Artists

The Ecology Centre is looking for 1 to 3 səlilwətaɬ, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw, or xʷməθkʷəy̓əm artists to create digital line art illustrations of local animals.

We are updating our Nature Sounds display, part of our kids’ area, inside our nature museum in Lynn Canyon Park. Visitors slide a card through a slot to trigger the sound of an animal. On each card is an illustration and short fact about the animal. We are seeking artists to make small illustrations of each animal.

Deadline to apply is November 9, 2026.
