This chapter is the text written by curator Danielle Printup for Plans for Tee-pee at the First Native Business Summit. It is a minute long.
Bob Boyer was a renowned Métis artist, art historian, curator and educator who exhibited his work across Canada and internationally. Working across sectors in education, art and community organizations, Boyer was a passionate individual who significantly contributed to Indigenous visual arts in Canada.
In 1986 Robert Houle invited Boyer to participate as a special guest artist at the First Native Business Summit in Toronto. This colourful drawing of a tee-pee in diagrammatic form is the design for the interior lining of the full-size tee-pee that Boyer later constructed for New Beginnings, an exhibition he co-curated with Houle for the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina.
The next artwork is to the right of Boyer’s, so stay here for the next stop.
