Director/Curator
Art Gallery of York University

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.
