YVR Art Foundation is pleased to announce that the Hauser & Wirth Institute in New York will be funding two Bill McLennan Masterpiece Study Program travel grants this year. Hauser & Wirth Institute (HWI) is a private foundation based in Brooklyn, NY dedicated to supporting innovation and equity in the field of artists’ archives.

Bill McLennan Masterpiece Study Program travel grants are for BC and Yukon First Nations visual artists to study/research Indigenous art collections at YVRAF museum partners around the world.

HWI will be funding one travel grant for artists, and one newly created Community Researcher travel grant, which is for a BC or Yukon First Nations artist or community member to travel to an international YVRAF museum partner to do art, archival and/or other cultural heritage research to support the assembly and sharing of community archives.

YVR Art Foundation acknowledges that its offices are located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. The Foundation’s work and outreach spans the territories of many Nations throughout what is now known as British Columbia and the Yukon, and our programs exist for the purpose of supporting BC and Yukon First Nations artists with grants, awards, exhibitions and research opportunities. We honour with gratitude the Nations who have cared for the lands on which we work, reside and visit, and who have stewarded them since time immemorial.
