The Carleton University Art Gallery, also known as CUAG, is a free professional art gallery located on Carleton University's campus in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. CUAG first opened its doors in in September of 1992, and has since hosted hundreds of exhibitions, and received many awards from the Ontario Association of Art Galleries.
History
[edit]CUAG was founded largely due to a financial donation gifted by Ottawa residents Jack and Frances Barwick in 1984. The gift was accompanied by a donation of 57 paintings by Canadian artists.[1]
Upon the donation, the Barwicks required that the university "provide adequate and appropriate display space and continuing care and protection for the collection." [2] In the years after, Carleton ran a community fundraising campaign leading up to CUAG opening its doors in 1992 with an exhibition that prominently featured the new Barwick collection.[3]
CUAG functions as a professional gallery with curated exhibits showcasing professional art, and "strives to be a vibrant, inclusive space where art, communities, learning and experimentation converge to challenge the status quo and foster transformative dialogue, toward a more just and sustainable society.[4]
Events and Public Programming
[edit]Since its opening CUAG has hosted over 300 exhibitions, including hosting several curated by Carleton students.[5] The Gallery hosts artist talks, student tours, workshops, and digital events[6][7] in both its own space as well as the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre in downtown Ottawa.[8]
Selected Exhibitions
[edit]Awards
[edit]The Carleton University Art Gallery has been nominated and won over 20 awards from Galeries Ontario Galleries,[9] including most recently "Seasons of the Sun"[10] for First Exhibition in a Public Art Gallery in 2024[11], and "Visiting with Morrisseau"[12] for the Education Award,[13] both in 2024.
