Anthea Black will be presenting information about the artist-run centres listed below and will link issues specific to Alberta, yet also shared by centres and local artists in Ottawa today. This is a great opportunity for artists to find out about the centres’ mandate and exhibition opportunities; a valuable networking opportunity and an affirmation of our national connection to artists and artist-run centres in other regions of Canada.

Anthea Black is an artist, art-writer and the Director of Stride Gallery, Calgary. She has attended NSCAD, ACAD, where she received a BFA in Drawing, the Banff Centre, and several conferences on contemporary art and artist-run culture. Her work has been exhibited across Canada, including recent projects for STRUTS in Sackville, NB, projet MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE project, INTRANSIT Web Centre, and Open Call 13 at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge. Black will be the curator of two upcoming projects at Stride, DIY FUNNY and 1985-2005: 20 years at Stride. As an advocate for artist-run centres, she is on the Board of the Calgary Professional Arts Alliance and is one of the founding members of The Alberta Association of Artist Run Centres.
