Call for Aboriginal Artists - Coca-Cola Aboriginal Art Bottle Program in Canada

Dear Four Host First Nations MOU and MOI Partners:

The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) and the Four Host First Nations (FHFN) are seeking your help in identifying Aboriginal artists interested in participating in the Coca-Cola Aboriginal Art Bottle Program.

Coca-Cola’s unique contour bottle is recognized around the world and the Coca Cola Art Bottle Program has become a tremendous form of expression during past Olympic Games. Last summer, during the Beijing Olympic Games, the Program featured artists from across China and showcased Chinese art and culture.

For the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Coca-Cola is launching the Coca-Cola Aboriginal Art Bottle Program, which will celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal art and culture to the world by showcasing Aboriginal art on the contour bottle.

The attached letter and Call for Credentials provides more information about this exciting program. Please share this information with talented Aboriginal artists in your area and encourage them to apply for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This program is open to both amateur and professional First Nations, Inuit and Métis artists working in all artistic mediums from traditional to contemporary (i.e. weavers, carvers, painters, beaders, jewellers, and numerous traditional crafts). The bottles can vary in size depending on the medium in which artists are working.

If you have any questions about the Coca-Cola Art Bottle Program, please contact Connie Watts, Project Manager, Venues Aboriginal Art Program, VANOC at connie_watts@vancouver2010.com or 604. 403.2083.

Sincerely,

Nadine Hoehne
