Acadia University Art Gallery

Lucy Jarvis, Boy, charcoal/pencil The #AcadiaU Art Gallery is pleased to present Face Value. Drawing on the permanent collection in the Acadia University Art Gallery’s collection, the exhibition explores how the human experience is represented in portraiture. The selected works emphasize women’s experience and the under-representation of women in art. The exhibition is the result of research undertaken by students enrolled in HIST 3693-Special Topics: Introduction to Curating. In this course students were introduced to history of museums and curating, and learned the mechanics of building an exhibition. The students developed the curatorial theme as well as selecting and researching the works of art, culminating in a public exhibition. Please join us for the opening reception and presentations of student research on Wednesday May 24, 11 a.m. Come see the exhibition and hear the approaches the students took in research and developing the project. The exhibition will be on view until June 11.
