Description

The Canada Council for the Arts is seeking proposals from individuals interested in curating an exhibition from approximately June 2022 to January 2023 in our Âjagemô exhibition space. This physical exhibition will be complemented by an online exhibition on the Âjagemô website.
In 2022, the Canada Council Art Bank celebrates its 50th anniversary. As this eventful year approaches, we are seeking a curator to create an exhibition that will highlight and celebrate the past, present and future of the Art Bank collection and the role of the visual arts in the lives of Canadians.
The curator will lead the development, creation and implementation of the exhibition in close consultation with the Art Bank leadership and the Canada Council's Communications Section.
Proposals from curators who self-identify as Indigenous, Black, racialized, Deaf, or with disabilities will be prioritized.
