TerraceBC teen awarded scholarship
When he was 15, he was assisting his father Lyle Tallio in the painting of a dance curtain for the traditional wedding of a hereditary chief in their Nuxalk community.
The assignment was to create a portfolio including an artist statement and some pieces representative of the creator, all to be an application for the grant program—though it was optional to submit it. While there he saw a traditional cod mask. In Indigenous culture, carved masks are worn in traditional dances and storytelling, and usually represent an animal, according to the Canadian Indigenous Art group.
The emerging artist category is for those aged 17 to 29, and the funding is awarded to help artists further their development through mentorship or by attending art school for one year.
