BRIDGING CONNECTION:
A CALL FOR CREATIVES
Connection
At Taza we are stronger, together. As Taza continues to solidify new partners, a strong need for Tsuut’ina artists to contribute to the visual infrastructure of the project is required. Bridging Connection is designed to bring our communities closer together through a range of creative collaborations with current and prospective tenants and businesses.
