Exhibit | BEAD PAINT CARVE
La version fran莽aise suit
To celebrate the 2024 Indigenous Awareness Weeks, McGill Visual Arts Collection presents an exhibition to highlight activities related to Indigenous Art on campus in three actions; BEAD, PAINT, CARVE. We invite to you see these Indigenous artworks first-hand in the McLennan Library Building and learn more about their production and our active research.
The McGill Visual Arts Collection (VAC) is a unit within the McGill Libraries that cares for all art on campus. The Collection consists of almost 3500 artworks and is installed in over 90 buildings on 4 campuses. The mandate of the VAC is twofold: to offer our McGill community first-hand encounters with works of Fine Art and to be an educational resource. While the University has been collecting art for over 200 years, more recently the focus has been to offer an art collection that is as diverse as the McGill community that it serves. With the help of generous donors and engaged Faculties and Units who share this vision, the VAC has expanded to include over 180 artworks by Indigenous artists. This display is designed to offer a snapshot of activities relating to Indigenous Art on campus in three actions: bead, paint, carve.

La Collection des arts visuels de McGill (CAV) est une unit茅 des Biblioth猫ques McGill qui prennent soin de toutes les 艙uvres d'art sur le campus. La Collection se compose de pr猫s de 3500 艙uvres d'art et est install茅e dans plus de 90 b芒timents r茅partis sur 4 campus. La mission de la CAV est double : offrir 脿 notre communaut茅 McGill des rencontres directes avec des 艙uvres d'art et servir de ressource 茅ducative. Bien que l'Universit茅 collecte de l'art depuis plus de 200 ans, l'accent a r茅cemment 茅t茅 mis sur la constitution d'une collection d'art aussi diversifi茅e que la communaut茅 McGill qu'elle sert. Gr芒ce 脿 la g茅n茅rosit茅 des donateurs et 脿 l'engagement des Facult茅s et Unit茅s qui partagent cette vision, la CAV comprend plus de 180 艙uvres d'art d'artistes autochtones. Cette exposition est con莽ue pour offrir un aper莽u des activit茅s li茅es 脿 l'art autochtone sur le campus 脿 travers trois actions : perler, peindre, graver.
