This Week at Agnes

Spend time in the galleries!

Visit these next two weeks and see Land Protectors, Winsom Winsom: The Masks We Wear, Pamila Matharu: Where Were You in ’92?, Collection Count + Care, The Fabrics of Representation and Fugitive Rituals. All are on view until 4 December. 

If you have visited recently, you likely saw that the Contemporary Feature Gallery is now a Digital Lab. Behind-the-scenes work of packing and digitizing the collection is happening as we prepare our 17,000-object collection for a move. More details to come.

Commissions with Chantal Rousseau

Commissions can be a great way to generate income, but there are also potential pitfalls you want to avoid. This workshop introduces strategies for positively integrating commissions into your artistic practice. It covers how to create a commission process, pricing strategies, payment structures, timelines, negotiating with clients, contracts, shipping and marketing.

Chantal Rousseau has been a practicing artist for over 20 years, primarily focused on painting and animation. She has had numerous exhibitions within Canada and internationally, as well as creating site-specific artist-led exhibitions and temporary public art projects.   Sign up

Agnes, Modern Fuel and Union Gallery are pleased to co-present this series.
