The Miquwahkesis Project

Miquwahkesis means red fox in the Cree language, and is an RRC public art project which includes multiple fibreglass fox sculptures hand painted by artists and students in the Wood Buffalo Region.

My role was to design and deliver Educational Programming around the project, as well as public art awareness. I also worked with student groups in Ft. McMurray, Anzac and Ft. McKay to help them create their fox sculptures.

Between Spring 2014 and Spring 2015, I worked with 1,264 students in the Wood Buffalo Region through RRC School Visits Program to create artworks based on The Miquwahkesis Project. That is a lot of fox art!

   












                                                                                    

2D Artworks created by the students and some
of the 3D fox sculptures were displayed in a colourful
and celebratory community art exhibition.
