Over this past term (Winter 2019), one of our very own MA students, Alysha Strongman, curated an exhibit, entitled "Puvirnituq Graphic Arts in the 1960s" featured at the Agnes’ Spring/Summer Season Launch on Friday, May 3rd at 6:00 p.m. More details about the launch can be found here: https://agnes.queensu.ca/…/de…/springsummer-season-launch-2/.

As well, Alysha will be giving a special "Art Matters" talk and tour about the exhibit on Thursday, May 16th from 12:15-1:00 p.m. All are welcome to drop-in for this free event. Details:https://www.facebook.com/aeartcentre/

FYI: Alysha was awarded the inaugural Research Studentship in Indigenous Art. Her research involved curating this exhibition under the supervision of Dr. Norman Vorano, Curator of Indigenous Art.

Congratulations to Alysha!
