Salon Night with Mary Reid
Wednesday 18 November | 7PM
Salon Nights are open to all members, no registration required. Come-one-Come-all! They are free evenings of informal critique and feedback where members can bring in their art projects for discussion. Whether you wish to present or not, you should come out to add to the dialogue and see what other artists have going on in their studios. Each session is hosted by a different local or visiting artist who will facilitate discussion and weigh in with their own experience.
Mary Reid is currently the Curator of Contemporary Art and Photography at The Winnipeg Art Gallery. Her primary curatorial interests lie in modern and contemporary art as well as public sculpture, with a particular interest in the investigation of the creative process, itself.

In September 2008 she became a mentor with Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art year long Foundation Mentorship Programme. She has curated a number of exhibitions and contributed to various publications, exhibition catalogues and magazines focused on contemporary art.
