The Broadway Subway Project is an approximately 5.7 km extension of the SkyTrain Millennium Line from VCC-Clark Station to a new terminus at Broadway and Arbutus Street, with six new underground stations. Project construction commenced in Fall 2020 with the new extension going into service in late 2025.
Station art is a key component at many stations and/or station plazas along the SkyTrain system and at all existing Millennium Line stations. This call for public art is an opportunity to acknowledge and showcase Squamish Nation culture, and will be a legacy project for commuters to see. Two artist calls are currently open.
Squamish Nation artists are invited to develop and submit a concept for glass art.
The total contract value is $125,000 and the deadline for submissions is Friday, July 29, 2022.
