The student-run Marion Nicoll Gallery (MNG) is a unique forum for showcasing student work, inspiring experimentation, and stimulating critical dialogue. This unique gallery is modeled after a not-for-profit gallery and encourages conceptual freedom and diversity. Run by the Alberta University of the Arts Students’ Association, the MNG provides emerging artists and designers with an opportunity to develop experience in curation, arts administration, jurors, and exhibitors. The MNG encompasses two different exhibition spaces, providing a link between educational and professional environments. The MNG’s main gallery space hosts large-scale installations, group shows, and individual bodies of work. It’s located in the main mall at AUArts, across from the Illingworth Kerr Gallery.
