Gardens seeking art

The Montreal Botanical Garden is inviting native artists to submit designs for a large mural, which will cover an entire wall of a pavilion located in its First Nations Garden.

The garden, which was created in 2001, contains plants from Quebec, including those from Nunavik, in “natural” settings.

It features sections devoted to the Inuit and First Nations communities of Quebec. An inuksuk stands in the Inuit section of the garden.

A wall in the garden’s pavilion was left unfinished, and will now be used to promote the work of aboriginal artists.

For details on how to submit a work of art, call 514-872-9613. All entries must be submitted by March 31.
