Speakers:
Grant McConnell - Artist & Educator
Grant McConnell lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where he works as an artist and educator. He studied Fine Arts at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick before moving to Saskatoon where he completed a B.F.A and a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Saskatchewan. He currently teaches at the St. Peter’s College, and at the University of Saskatchewan where he specializes in Canadian Art History and Visual Culture, and Studio Art. He has served as the National Chair and spokesperson of CARFAC, (Canadian Artist’s Representation), and on the board of directors of the Saskatchewan Arts Board, ACCESS Copyright, and the Remai Modern in Saskatoon, Sk.
He is known primarily for his painting and drawing which is derived from an ongoing investigation of subject matter related to social and historical themes. A return to often familiar subject matter in order to reframe the significant questions, and to free up meaning, underlies the artist’s practice.
