Chief Curator

POSITION:   Chief Curator

COMPANY:    The Polygon Gallery

LOCATION:    North Vancouver, B.C.

DIRECT REPORTS: Curator, Gallery Manager, Curatorial Assistants and Interns

WEBSITE:               https://thepolygon.ca 

NOC CODE:    0511

THE ORGANIZATION

Located in North Vancouver, British Columbia, The Polygon Gallery (The Polygon) is a vibrant art institution that inspires cultural insight through adventurous programming. A non-collecting public art gallery, The Polygon is committed to championing artists and cultivating engaged audiences, with a mandate that centers on the histories and evolving technologies of photography, film, and video.

The Polygon champions curatorial innovation and showcases new work by emerging, established, and under-represented artists, as well as the art of its region. The Gallery’s program engages in global conversations while seeking to interpret image cultures not traditionally represented in art galleries.

Originally operating as Presentation House Gallery, The Polygon is a federally registered charity. Since the early 1980s the Polygon has mounted over three hundred solo, group, and thematic exhibitions featuring acclaimed artists – both world‐renowned and emerging – and innovative exhibitions of historic and vernacular photography. With an operating budget for 2022 of $3.7 million, the Polygon is well-positioned financially for future growth.

Situated on the unceded territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xwməθkwəýəm (Musqueam) Nations, The Polygon is committed to the development of visual and lens-based practices and to creating pathways for new voices, particularly as it articulates new narratives from artists outside the Eurocentric perspective of many art galleries.

The Polygon is committed to inclusivity, believing that art should be accessible to all. To acknowledge financial barriers, admission to The Polygon is offered on a by-donation basis - all day, every day – with exhibition tours, talks, and outreach programs included. The Polygon is focused on providing a fun and welcoming environment for children and families, so that from an early age people can come to know The Polygon as their place for interacting with, and learning about, art.
