CARFAC SASK and Humboldt Museum & Gallery are pleased to present:
FROM PROPOSAL TO EXHIBITION
with Laureen Marchand
This workshop will help artists strengthen the skills necessary to prepare and present their work for various types of exhibition venues. Based on her years of exhibition experience, Laureen Marchand will provide an overview of exhibition-related labour, from writing a strong exhibition proposal all the way to being prepared to install your work for display. Emphasis is placed on building great relationships for a successful future.
LAUREEN MARCHAND lives in Val Marie, Sask, just north of the Montana border at the gateway to Grasslands National Park. Inspired by this region’s subtlety and remoteness, her paintings reflect on our ideas and perception of beauty. These artworks invite us to see not just the painted object, but ourselves in it.
Laureen Marchand has exhibited regionally, nationally and internationally in more than 30 solo and two-person exhibitions as well as over 50 group shows, in Canada and internationally. Her paintings have been recognized by the Saskatchewan Arts Board and the Canada Council, are held in many public and private collections, and have been represented in exhibition catalogues and reviewed in newspapers and magazines. Laureen Marchand has been artist in residence at the Leighton Colony/Banff Centre for the Arts, the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Ireland, and the Ragdale Foundation in Illinois, among others. She has lived and painted in Canada and Ireland.
