Looking Back, Moving Forward – Reflecting on ‘The Curve’

The Curve: Community Art Installation

June 9, 2020 – September 27, 2020

The Curve was a multi-disciplinary community art installation, exhibited through the summer of 2020 at the Art Gallery of Grande Prairie. It honours those in the Peace Region who passed, who served, and who lived through the largest public health pandemic in generations. The Curve had the power to echo and connect all human experiences. It continued to grow and evolve as pieces were contributed to the overall exhibition.

We also commissioned four local artists to create artworks to be displayed in The Curve, and are proud to acquire them as permanent fixtures in the Gallery’s Permanent Collection.

We acknowledge that we are located on Treaty 8 territory—the ancestral Land of the sovereign Dane-zaa, Nehiyawak, Dene, and Otipemisiwak Nations. We acknowledge the many Indigenous Peoples who have lived and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude.

The Art Gallery of Grande Prairie also recognizes that Land Acknowledgments are not enough. Through our actions we commit to truth, reconciliation, decolonization, and allyship in support of Indigenous lifeways and wellbeing.
