Art As Research Mentorship Course is part of the AGB’s 50th Anniversary exhibition A Curve, Not A Line, featuring work from the gallery’s permanent collection. Held from May 9 - August 10, the exhibition is the result of a dynamic collaboration between the gallery’s curatorial and education teams, bringing together different perspectives to create a multi-sensorial experience. Designed to highlight key works from our collection of Canadian contemporary ceramics, A Curve, Not A Line explores thematic and material connections that speak to timefulness, slowness, playfulness, and resourcefulness with both historical and ancestral traditions and contemporary innovations. By integrating curatorial research with educational insights, the exhibition fosters deeper engagement, inviting visitors to connect with the artworks through multiple lenses and positions—whether artistic, cultural, or social. This collaborative approach ensures a rich and accessible exploration of the collection, inspiring dialogue, and discovery for all audiences.
