For many people, art museums are places that are inaccessible, irrelevant and unconnected to their life experiences. The very architecture of these “temples” with their imposing façades can be intimidating for people who feel neither represented nor welcomed in these buildings; meanwhile, museums like the National Gallery of Canada have a mandate to develop, maintain and make known their collections and to promote knowledge, understanding and appreciation of art.
How do we reconcile the mission of museums and the apprehensions of considerable segments of the public? How can we share works from the national collection to make them more accessible to communities? How can we work with the communities themselves to create transformative experiences with local, national, and even international influence? These are some of the questions at the core of the museum’s renewed National Engagement initiative directed by Josée Drouin-Brisebois.
The Lulu Series is an annual spring series of talks about Art in the City and its importance to establishing connections between citizens and their communities.
