Gary Breteig and Annalee Nutter provided a presentation on behalf of the Fort McMurray Public School district, proposing a collaborative artwork project with First Nations, Metis and Inuit Students.
The presentation outlined a proposal to produce three large scale art pieces to display in three of the Region's Public High Schools. The project would be a collaborative process with Public School Districts 217 First Nations, Metis and Inuit (FNMI) Students, along with their peers. The outcome of the project would be to help develop a sense of belonging for FNMI students, and to let them know their culture is respected.
The Committee discussed numerous variables that should to be explored prior to considering the project proposal; including project parameters, funding categories and the Public Art Plan.
