Art Gallery of York University</b> <br><br>
The Art Gallery of York University (AGYU) presents exhibitions of a
contemporary nature, often experimental and probing in scope,
complementary to York's progressive atmosphere. Through an
internationally recognized exhibition program of innovative and
challenging art by professional artists from Canada and abroad, the AGYU
aims to bring important art to Canada, and to reflect and define the
cutting edge of contemporary Canadian and international art. Located on
York University's north Toronto campus, the AGYU also partners with the
Faculty of Fine Arts to provide a unique teaching laboratory for York
students. York is Canada's third largest University, with over 40,000
full- and part-time students in ten Faculties. For more information, see

Reporting to the University's Vice-President Academic, and in
consultation with the AGYU Advisory Board, the Director/Curator holds
administrative responsibility for the AGYU, and curatorial responsibility
for the Gallery as well as for art installations across the University.

next chapter of its history. <br><br>
