OVVIAN HILL
CREATESPACE PUBLIC ART RESIDENCY is a national public art residency program by Canadian public arts organization, STEPS designed in collaboration with the City of Fort St. John to provide early and mid-career Black, Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and Metis), and People of Colour racialized artists with the skills, relationships and practical experience needed to take their public art practices to the next level. This CreateSpace Artist in Residency is awarded to the talented, Filipino Sculptor, Ovvian Castrillo-Hill. This summer and fall Ovvian will bring a unique temporary public art piece to the Fort St. John community!
The North Peace Cultural Society has been the hub of arts and community in Fort St. John since it opened its doors in June of 1992. We are a non-profit organization that relies on donations from the community to thrive and are governed by the North Peace Cultural Society.
