TORCHES FOR CANADIAN CULTURAL POLICY: VISUAL VOICES FROM THE KINGSTON CONFERENCE TO NEW LEGISLATION

Join the esteemed art historian, museum director, and former Senator, Honourable Pat Bovey, as she discusses the contemporary legacy of the famed "Kingston Conference", held in June of 1941. A watershed moment in the Canadian art world, the "Kingston Conference" brought more than 150 artists, museum directors, art historians and members of the public to Queen's University to discuss the place of the artist in society and its role within Canada. What is the contemporary legacy of that conference, and how does it relate to current legislation in the arts, including cultural diplomacy and reconciliation? 
This lecture is organized and sponsored by the Department of Art History and Art Conservation.
