This hands-on practicum class will take place on campus at the Illingworth Kerr Gallery and enable students to gain employable gallery-oriented skills, including (but not limited to) hanging, collections management, art handling, and exhibition planning. Students will work with the IKG staff and invited experts to learn professional skills and then apply them in the gallery. In addition to practical work skills, this course will also cover philosophies around labour practices and students will respond to ideas in the class with a creative final project.
