I hope to see museums make more concerted efforts to educate the public. Too many exhibits are of the “passive, didactic looking” than like the engaging Object Stories program (Dartt, Murawski). Exhibits should seek to tell untold narratives, and programs should be places of communication and cross-cultural encounters. For too long, difficult confrontations have been avoided, both inside the museum, and by dominant communities

Partnering with the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre, the Cathedral Village Arts Festival, and FadaDance the Art Gallery of Regina presented a full day of free programming for our 2017 Open House. The AGR partnered with the CVAF, plus also successfully applied for Canada 150 funds in support of an contemporary dance piece performed in the gallery in response our exhibition Landforms. Additionally, our Canada 150 grant extended to funding a painting demo by exhibiting artist Mike Keepness in the NBCAC courtyard space. Some of the visitors sat watching and speaking with Mike over the full duration of Mike’s demo. Plus, our gallery full of visitors watching the FadaDance performance, people enjoyed connection to the paintings and the history of the landscape presented through dance.

I decided to visit the Longmont Museum and Cultural Center (Image 1). The URL for this museum is http://www.ci.longmont.co.us/museum/. My experience visiting this museum was very different from the other museums that I have visited more recently. It provided a great deal of interesting insight and topics for discussion for me to consider. My overall experience consists of the museum’s setting, any personal interactions that occurred, my analysis of my favorite work of art that I encountered, and my opinions on viewing art in person rather than through other material.

I have had a passion for art since childhood. Over the past three years i have sought to use this enthusiasm to good effect. I focused on discovering new talent and learning about the process of creation and also the curating of exhibitions. This lead to me creating a pop up exhibition for students at Central Saint Martins in a vacant space on the Portland estate in

The WAG’s press release immediately goes into the when, where, what, why and how of the exhibition. They then use later paragraphs to talk about other features, such as guided tours and a kid’s activity scheduled to complement the exhibition theme. The Assiniboine Park Conservatory’s release also does this in regard to the subject, the gifted

It is no doubt Art Gallery sounds boring because a lot of people do not understand nor enjoys art, but Queensland Art Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) is starting to change people’s attitudes towards Art Gallery with their hands on and digital technology activities. To turn a boring gallery trip to an enjoyable, fun and informative for children, adults and tourists are becoming a possible reality in QAGOMA.

It showcases the dense, extensive and delicate connections in the artist’s experimental practices, which includes performance, installations, prints, photographs, films and paintings. The show reveals the transgression with the thematically structured six main galleries with an impressive display of Parr’s diaries in the foyer, films in the theatre and the artist’s archive, ‘Information Centre’. According to Parr, he said, “But in the foyer, I must say, there’s this rather beautiful pop-up space, which is nearly confined entirely to language pieces, and outside this space on the curved wall we’ve got 40 beautiful vitrines..and I’ve displayed 45 years of diaries. So the foyer’s got all of this text, and it’s very intimate.” The diaries were a very clever idea that gave a lot of help to the audience in terms of better understanding of the

17. On my museum experience, I took it in like every other visit to the museum I have ever had: much like other children expressed wonder and amazement at a circus performance or sports game; I was awestruck and mesmerized by the colors, the atmosphere, and the same restrained joy that I felt evident in the eyes of all the other observers. My girlfriend and I made our way through the museum, blending in with crowds of other viewers to see Cezanne, Gauguin, Brueghel, O’Keefe and the like in the permanent collection, making time to go from one end of the spectrum to the other. But my heart has always had a soft spot for

Looking at a piece of art is a highly subjective process, in which the individual can find how to unjumble the puzzle of the Visual Image. All of this is improved my overall view and engagement with art works in a gallery. I feel as though something that relates first-person is easier to unpick than on social media, whether or not if I like and art work or think it terrible. I found this out when we were at the Wellington Art Gallery by the way people interact with an art work and how the study it is really interesting. I honestly think that not many people understand what makes a great exhibition and how to understand the work that fills a gallery. This was important with the Cindy Sherman exhibition I was able to look critically at her work. Today there is a completely different culture towards understanding art in a gallery, and it is so easy to see what people think of an art work such as Cindy Sherman. For me when we visited the gallery I had a feeling of disconnect around the room, as though people around me weren't fully with what was being put in front of

In her speech “How art gives shape to cultural change” (2009) Thelma Gordon, a curator of art for Studio Museum in Harlem and the Whitney Museum, provides insight into how curators, art, artist and museums are catalyst for culture and change. Her speech guides viewer through her exhibitions and events in history that resulted in the rewriting of history and personal growth. She studied art and artist at a time when museums included fewer people of color and is an advocate for cross-culture dialogues, creativity, innovation, and defining culture through exhibitions. She believes in using art and the museums to change the way people think about themselves and culture and realizes the effect art has on people internationally and in a community.

For my project, I chose to tour the European section of the Dallas Museum of Art. I visited the DMA on Friday 11th, as the museum was introducing a new portrait of a man from a vendor. The museum, curated by Gavin Delahunty, is situated snugly in the heart of Downtown Dallas. The exhibit presented many artists and let the viewer’s imagination take them back in time and immerse them into the art.

With the encouragement of the lily, it becomes somewhat less intimidating to follow the tour guide out of the shadow shrouding the lobby and into the next room. Stark light casts an almost antiseptic glow over the white walls and illuminates the rows of framed paintings arranged meticulously on one wall. “Featured artists,” the guide explains—local amateur artists who have contributed their work. A contract benefits both museum and artist by giving the museum an exhibit and the artists a chance to sell artwork to a wider audience.

Last week I visited the George Caleb Bingham Gallery to see an artist’s work. Her name was Mary Margaret Sandbothe and her collection of art was at the MFA Thesis Exhibition. Now, I am not one for looking at art and being able to interpret it easily, but when I arrived to see her work I was pleasantly surprised. I was in awe of artwork at first glance.
