Professional Development
On an ongoing basis, the MacLaren Art Centre offers free talks with artists, curators and other cultural professionals from our community. Talks may be focused on current exhibitions or provide insight into a speaker’s work within the field of art and visual culture. Artists in attendance have the opportunity to network with their peers, build knowledge of contemporary Canadian art and learn about the issues and trends present within the cultural sector today.
