EMERGING ARTIST SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT, 2024
Chase Gray is a 2-spirit Musqueam and Tsimshian artist living in their traditional xʷməθkʷəy̓əm territory, also known as Vancouver, BC. Growing up, he was always surrounded by culture and art, particularly Tsimshian dance and Formline design. Through time, learning, and understanding, Chase has developed a separate Coast Salish design style, which he now uses to represent xʷməθkʷəy̓əm art within xʷməθkʷəy̓əm territory. Much of Chase’s art features bright colours, nostalgia, and queer representation as recurring themes, as he hopes to spread the joy of each community he is a part of.
