The Honourable Patricia Bovey will lead a four-part course in Canadian art history, drawing upon examples of extraordinary women artists. Organized thematically, each session will traverse eras, exploring individual careers and movements of the past 150 years, with a particular focus on contemporary art. Each evening will begin with a lecture, richly illustrated with images, followed by time for questions and discussion. Participants are invited to attend any or all sessions. No need to register.
Patricia Bovey has contributed to Canadian visual arts as an advocate, museologist, author, gallery director, curator, professor and a member of Canada’s Senate. Bovey served as director of the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, as founding Director/Curator of the Galerie Buhler Gallery, and on the boards of the University of Manitoba, the National Gallery of Canada, Emily Carr University and the Canada Council for the Arts. Her recent book, Western Voices in Canadian Art, is a ground-breaking text that documents the works of artists from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia from the 19th century to the present.
