Title
Mercer Union: A Centre for Contemporary Art
Description
Mercer Union, A Centre for Contemporary Art is an artist-run centre dedicated to the existence of contemporary art. We provide a forum for the production and exhibition of Canadian and international conceptually and aesthetically engaging art and related cultural practices. We pursue our primary concerns through critical activities that include exhibitions, lectures, screenings, performances, publications, events and special projects.
Established and incorporated in 1979, Mercer Union began as an artist-run centre through the collective efforts of artists who believed in alternative art production and presentation. Throughout our twenty-four year history, we have maintained ambitious programming, exhibiting national and international artists and presenting cultural professionals both in formative and established stages of their careers.
We support the professional development of artists and provide a place to stimulate discussions between national and international artists. One of our main objectives is to support the creation and development of new and site-specific work, and often premiering international artists' work alongside that of local artists.
