How do I go about exhibiting my work at the Gallery?
Exhibitions are planned several years in advance and the Gallery has a very full exhibition program. However, opportunities for young and emerging artists are available.

What is a conservator?
Conservators have professional training in the science, ethics and practice of art conservation. Conservators apply technical skills in their area of speciality, for example, paintings, works on paper, sculpture, etc.
They have strongly developed professional and ethical responsibilities towards the conservation of the cultural material in their care. In Canada, conservators are guided by the Canadian Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Materials Inc. (CICCM) Code of Ethics and Guidance for Conservation Practice which guides conservation practices and outlines obligations to clients, colleagues and employees.

Does the Gallery provide work experience for high school students?
Due to the specialised nature of art museum work, the gallery is unable to provide work experience for high school students. However, the gallery has a volunteer program suitable for tertiary students.
