The Canada Council has teamed up with the National Gallery to provide an exciting professional development opportunity for a mid-career Aboriginal curator. The new pilot program will see the successful applicant undertake a two-year residency at the gallery, researching and assisting on the collections, and preparing an exhibition for the gallery’s “On Tour” program. “This is a wonderful opportunity for an Aboriginal curator to have a hands-on residency,” said François Lachapelle, head of the Canada Council Visual Arts section. “We are thrilled to collaborate with the National Gallery of Canada. The knowledge and expertise of the Gallery’s employees are invaluable to the visual arts milieu. The sharing of experiences will be most inspiring for the curatorial resident. We are convinced that he or she will greatly benefit from this two-year professional immersion at this prominent national institution.” For more information, CLICK HERE
