Re: Collecting Recent Acquisitions from the Permanent Collection

January 8 - February 9, 2018
Exhibition Reception
February 7, 4:30 - 7:00 pm

The School of Art Gallery is the grateful beneficiary of the generous impulses of art owners to redistribute objects from their private collections to public collections to share with scholars, art viewers, and the general public. In 2012 when the School of Art Gallery, then Gallery One One, moved to its new facilities in ARTlab, it came to a gallery that was twice the size of the old space, and to new collection vaults that more than doubled the storage space for artworks.

The expanded space has afforded opportunities to enlarge the permanent collection, and with the exhibition, Re: Collecting Recent Acquisitions from the Permanent Collection, the Gallery offers a survey of some of the new works that have found a place in our vaults. At the same time, the Gallery acknowledges the individuals whose generosity allows us to make these works available for study and for viewing.

The primary focus of the School of Art Gallery’s permanent collection is to "enrich the collection of Manitoba art to maintain a representative selection of the best Manitoba art, and in particular, the work of those associated with the School of Art, such as present and former staff members as well as former students."

Although it wasn’t an organizing principle for the exhibition, the Gallery kept in mind interconnections between artists who were represented within the donations; artists who collaborated, artists who were students at the same time, artists who were student and teacher, and ultimately, their links to the School of Art and to the Winnipeg art community and its history.
