Art exhibition interrupted by COVID-19
The Ring
UVic’s art galleries closed due to COVID, including on an exhibition of dazzling textile art. Legacy is open again, providing safe and welcoming opportunities to engage one’s artistic curiosity.
Strategic Framework Q&A
The Ring
The fourth in a series of articles exploring how staff and faculty across campus are implementing UVic’s Strategic Framework.
Protecting UVic’s art collection
The Ring
With 2,200 works of art currently on display—out of more than 20,000 pieces in the university’s overall art collection—UVic has more art on view in public, non-museum spaces than at any other university in Canada. Managing the collection responsibly through the Legacy Art Galleries’ Art on Campus program has also meant that a number of pieces previously on display in public spaces have been deemed to be at risk—and are in the process of being replaced with thematically similar works.
New name for UVic art collection
The Ring
The University of Victoria’s art collection inspires creativity, engages curiosity and fosters research and learning through art. Now its new name, Legacy Art Galleries, celebrates the legacy of the past and what is still to come.
Curator on two wheels
The Ring
Bike to Work Week May 27–June 2 As soon as her cousin taught her to ride a two-wheeler on the bumpy lanes on her uncle’s farm, eight-year-old Mary Jo Hughes was hooked. She and her brother promptly started nagging their parents for a bike and when they got one—to share—they fought over who got to ride it to school.
Legacy showcases honorary degree art
The Ring
When it comes to showcasing the University Art Collections, the pieces on permanent display across campus are really only the tip of the artistic iceberg. There’s the art that rotates through the various exhibits at both downtown’s Legacy Gallery and the McPherson Library’s Maltwood Prints and Drawings Gallery, for instance, but there is also the work done by the acclaimed artists who hold honourary degrees from the university. And while many of these are household names—Jack Shadbolt, E.J. Hughes, Robert Bateman, Mary Pratt—their work isn’t regularly seen around UVic.
