This workshop will address DOs, and DON’Ts in working with curators, critics, galleries and the wider community. What do curators really need when working with artists? How should artists approach and relate to organizations? What are the benefits and perils of websites? What is the value of studio visits? How should one conduct oneself when meeting a valuable contact? Is follow-up appropriate? In her role as director of galleries large and small, Pat Bovey has worked with hundreds of artists. She will share decades’ worth of effective tips and pet peeves.
No need to register, just show up!

Patricia Bovey was appointed to the Senate of Canada in November 2016 as an Independent Senator from Manitoba. As the first art historian, gallery professional and museologist to be appointed to the Senate, Bovey has worked on all issues, from legislation to committee work, primarily through the lens of arts and culture and from her regional perspective. She has spoken in the Chamber about the impact of the arts, especially on health and crime prevention. Her goal is to ensure that the voice of arts and culture is heard, in the Senate and in every sector of society. A Winnipeg-based gallery director, art historian, professor and arts and culture management consultant, she was Director of the Winnipeg Art Gallery (1999-2004) and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria (1980-1999), and appointed the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s Director Emerita in 2014. Founder of St. Boniface Hospital’s Buhler Gallery and the University of Winnipeg’s Arts and Culture Management Program, and MA in Curatorial Practice, she was the Buhler Gallery Director/Curator from its inception in 2007 until 2016, and a University of Winnipeg Adjunct Professor of Art History from 2011 to 2017.
