About The Campus Gallery, Georgian College

The Campus Gallery objective and mandate is to deliver a diversity of visual to the City of Barrie, its immediate region and within the Georgian College campus community.

The exhibitions celebrate emerging, mid-career and established artists, designers and craftspersons, as well as students within post-secondary arts education. The Campus Gallery will support the exhibition objectives with informative artist lectures that will be open to the immediate community, high schools and the college community, thus creating an environment of critical thinking, insight and appreciation.

Through outreach and exchange, the Campus Gallery will host and present international exchange exhibitions and lectures as well as exhibitions of community outreach at our partner venues. We exhibit our significant collection and bring visual arts to distinctly different audiences, facilitating and encouraging a dialogue and awareness of the arts in our community.

The Campus Gallery is in partnership with all programs in Georgian College and specifically, the programs in The School of Design and Visual Arts and The Museum and Galley Studies program.

About The Museum and Gallery Studies Program at Georgian College

As a student of the one-year, post-graduate Museum and Gallery Studies program, you will acquire a comprehensive foundation in museum and gallery work. You will develop capabilities in the main technical areas common to all museums and galleries: conservation and collections management, exhibition design, public programming, interactive technology, and administration. By advancing your existing knowledge through a blend of engaging academic instruction and experiential learning opportunities such as technical practice and a co-op work placement, you will be prepared to understand the legacy of museums and galleries while being a part of the change that moves this field of study forward. Connecting theory with practice, the Museum and Gallery Studies program focuses on curatorial sustainability, equity and diversity in curriculum and action, and instilling collaborative approaches to problem-solving. You will receive hands-on experience working with The Campus Gallery and Georgian College’s extensive art collection. Networking with museum and gallery professionals, historians, and artists, you will create off-site exhibitions with local cultural institutions. After your coursework is complete, a four-month co-op work placement will prepare you for the next steps in your career in Museums and Galleries. Applications are being accepted for Fall 2025!
