Upcoming conference of in Ottawa: Collections, Connections and Communities: making museums and galleries in Canada inclusive and accessible
How do Museums and galleries develop new audiences and adapt to a diverse population? How do we facilitate the meaningful involvement of the very communities we aspire to represent through our exhibitions, curatorial research and interpretive planning? In response to growing interest and demand for training and dialogue from museums and galleries across Canada, this national conference will examine these and other topics which address new and innovative ways to make exhibitions, programs and spaces more accessible for all visitors, including those with disabilities. Speakers will include Catherine Frazee, John Kennedy, Alan Shain, Nina Levent, John Rae, Ravi Malhotra, Elizabeth Sweeney etc. Organized and hosted by the National Gallery of Canada.
