Inviting the public into dialogue with artists, theorists, researchers, critics, educators, and cultural workers, the Gallery’s events position exhibition making as a lens through which to examine today’s issues and debates. Recognizing the public’s sense for inquiry and experimentation, these workshops, lectures, screenings, tours and other interventions ask us to reflect critically upon the ways we look and the forces inflecting our experience. Welcoming and supporting different modes of public participation, the Gallery’s programming aims to make and hold space for new vectors of interpretation and inclusion.

Join Art History MA student Paige Suhl for a presentation of her research conducted during her winter 2025 Curatorial Internship at the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery where she examined two lesser-known artworks by women artists in the Ellen’s permanent collection: Claire Hogenkamp’s sculpture I Smoke Them Because I Like Them (1965) and Judith Kelly’s print No, No…999 Times No! (1965). Considering the limited research material in the collection, Suhl will discuss the research methods she employed throughout her process of uncovering more information about these artists and analysing their work in relation to Quebec pop art.
