[BCMA] Canadian Art Gallery Educators 2015 Symposium

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello BCMA Members,
The Board of the Canadian Art Gallery Educators (CAGE) would like to invite all BCMA members to the upcoming CAGE Symposium taking place on March 26-28th.

Upcoming 2015 Symposium: Re-Examining Interpretive Models

March 26-28, 2015, MacKenzie Art Gallery, Regina, Saskatchewan

When is the last time you paused to consider the effectiveness of your museum's interpretive model? Many of us have been using the same model for decades, no questions asked. This year CAGE is offering the opportunity to workshop and review interpretive models we are all familiar with as well as absorb new research and thinking in this field, all in the context of a vibrant and contemporary cultural and artistic landscape. During the conference, we will explore a current example of re-examining models at the MacKenzie Art Gallery through the groundbreaking exhibition Moving Forward; Never Forgetting, co-curated by guest Curator David Garneau and MacKenzie Art Gallery Associate Curator Michelle LaVallee. Moving Forward; Never Forgetting is an exhibition, a series of three specially commissioned performances, art workshops, and a symposium celebrating Indigenous continuance, resistance and adaptation through the visual arts. The 2015 CAGE National Conference will include practical workshops related to interpretive models, case study presentations by national colleagues, an engaging on-site program at the Dunlop Art Gallery, and access to the Moving Forward; Never Forgetting symposium and MacKenzie Art Gallery programs.

Call for Case Studies 2015 (Submit by February 3, 2015)
This year, CAGE is looking for case study presentations focused on interpretive models and the methodological lenses through which education resources are focused. This includes but is not limited to the types of programs offered, the application of exhibition enhancements, the engagement of exhibiting artists and knowledgeable professionals, and ad hoc activities. How do you engage your exhibitions in meaningful ways? We are very interested in your story.

Case studies will be presented at the 2015 CAGE Conference in Regina, Saskatchewan on Friday, March 27, 2015. If your case study is selected you will receive a discounted registration fee for the full conference of $320 (this rate includes all of your meals) and you will have the opportunity to share your experiences with colleagues from across the country. Selected candidates should prepare a 30-minute presentation with an additional 15 minutes for questions and an open discussion.
