Description
Gallery 101 is a non-profit artist-run centre with charitable status dedicated to the professional presentation and circulation of visual and media arts. Each year, we present a stimulating array of solo and group exhibitions of Canadian and international contemporary artists working in all mediums. We also offer services and professional development opportunities to artists, curators, writers, and critics. Commitment to artists and their work is our first priority. As an artist-run-centre, G101 champions artists’ rights and advocates for fair payment of arists in all our programming and partnerships. Gallery 101’s mission centers on bringing people of diverse identities together. We believe in sharing perspectives across communities that don’t normally intersect. An essential risk we take is to embrace projects, programming, and partnerships that reach beyond visual arts communities to include and inspire allyship for front-line workers, thinkers, knowledge keepers, organizers, and the communities that they serve. G101 exhibits contemporary visual, media, and performance arts that explore self-representations of decolonizing, feminist, intersectional counter-narratives. We strive to be an inclusive contemporary art space with awareness of current social, cultural, environmental discourses and movements guiding our curatorial practices. Powerful programming partnerships support our mission to present projects that provide a range of entry points for audiences to engage with and reimagine issues especially related to land, water, race, histories, gender, ability, age, and the relationships between Indigenous, Black, settler, newcomer, and migrant communities.
