The Gallery presents six major exhibitions annually. Its exhibition programme focuses primarily on the examination of contemporary art but it also occasionally investigates practices and issues from the past from a contemporary viewpoint. From time to time it also presents exhibitions that feature its permanent collection. Capsule and Collection are two exhibition programmes inaugurated in 2005 that investigate aspects of the Permanent Collection. Exhibitions are either generated by the Director, the Max Stern Curator when devoted to the Collection, the Visiting Curator of Contemporary Art (named for a period of two years) or by independent curators invited because of their specific approach to the practice. Along with in-house exhibitions and guest-curated projects, the Gallery hosts traveling shows from Canada or abroad that are selected for their capacity to enhance and complement the gallery’s programming. As an art gallery within a university housing a large and important Faculty of Fine Arts, the gallery also wants to support the work of a rising generation of artists and does so by organizing the Annual Undergraduate Exhibition as well as Ignition, a show of selected projects by graduate students. A credited curatorial practicum focusing on curatorial writing is offered and involves the participation of graduate students in Art History.
