City of Vancouver launches new public art commissions for the Year of Reconciliation Five new projects, ranging from banners and posters to videos and a mural, have joined Vancouvers public art collection in an exhibition to honour and celebrate the Citys Year of Reconciliation. The Citys Public Art Program commissioned 10 new artist projects. The first five, debuting in March 2014, are by: Sonny Assu, Jeremy Borsos, Brian Liu, and include two by Krista Belle Stewart. New projects will be introduced monthly through August 2014. The works will appear in bus shelters; on video screens located in the downtown core; as large-scale banners in the atrium of the Vancouver Public Library downtown; and as an over-sized photo mural at the Canada Line City Centre Station. The artworks that debut in March were created by Canadian artists with backgrounds from Vancouver, Hong Kong, the Okanagan Nations Upper Nicola Band and the Kwakwakawakw culture of Quadra Island.
