Orange Shirt Day - Call for Artists

In recognition of Orange Shirt Day, Remai Modern is issuing a call for Indigenous artists to create a T-shirt design for the museum.

Submission requirements:

• Preference will be given to applicants who are residents of Saskatchewan and self-identify as Indigenous
• In alignment with Orange Shirt Society policy, the design must include the slogan “Every Child Matters”
• Designs must be limited to two colours
• Artwork must be the individual’s original design and must be suitable for printing on an orange T-shirt
• Artwork should be submitted as a vector file to info@remaimodern.org
• Submissions must be received by Friday, August 26 at 5 PM CST to be considered

Orange Shirt Day derives from the personal story of Orange Shirt Day founder Phyllis Webstad. Her story can be read on orangeshirtday.org. 

Orange Shirts are intended to:

• Support Indian Residential School Reconciliation
