On Saturday February 28th, AKA Gallery in Saskatoon held a panel as a follow up to it’s exhibition, The Bachelor (of Fine Arts) Party. The juried exhibition featured four students from the University of Regina (UofR) and four students from the University of Saskatchewan (UofS). The panel discussion was on the topic of BFA pedagogy in Saskatchewan and its place within fine arts education. The panel featured a representative from the UofR, Prof. David Garneau, a representative from the UofS, Bart Gazzola, two UofR students and one UofS student.
I have posted a transcript of the panel below. It is a shortened transcript that touches on the main points in the discussion. Prompted by Canadian Art’s “art schools” issue, my hope is to start a comparative examination of pedagogy across the country.
