The Agnes Etherington Art Centre at Queen's University
The Agnes Etherington Art Centre is a research‐intensive art museum located on the historic campus of Queen’s University. It illuminates the great artistic traditions of the past and the innovations of the present through year-round programs of exhibitions and outreach activities staged across eight beautiful galleries, the Biéler Studio, and assorted public spaces including the gracious period rooms of the historic Etherington House. As a space of display, innovation and exchange, the Agnes is an experiential learning space for diverse disciplines at Queen’s, and the public gallery for Kingston region. Its superb collections—numbering over 16,500 works―include cutting edge contemporary art and fine examples of Canadian historical art, Indigenous art and artifacts, and material culture including an unusual collection of Canadian Historical Dress and the Lang Collection of African Art. The Bader Collection, focusing on Rembrandt and his school, centres on more than 200 paintings from the Dutch Golden Age, including one portrait and two beautiful character studies by Rembrandt.
98 ???? Wandering Around Kingston ???? Queens University ????️The Agnes Etherington Art Centre
Before leaving Kingston, I took a quick tour of Queens University, specifically, the Agnes Etherington Arts Centre. I also decided to film a bit of the Lone Star inside the old fire hall, and a quirky (but tasty) circus-themed old-school family-style diner called the Jiffy Grill.
The Canadian Group of Painters Up Close
Frances K. Smith Public Talks in Canadian Art: The Canadian Group of Painters Up Close, 11 May, 2013.
Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Kingston, Ontario.
This exhibition sheds new light on the artistic and social impact of the Canadian Group of Painters in the first and most dynamic decades of its existence, from 1933 to 1953. Canadian Group of Painters exhibitions travelled across Canada and into the United States, stirring excitement, reflection and debate on the state of Canadian art and society. The Canadian Group of Painters emerged from the Group of Seven, but it became much more. Its engagement with modern life during the turbulent times of the Depression, World War II and postwar reconstruction made it a vital force. As one critic raved in 1949: Go up to the gallery ... and have your eyes blasted.
A Vital Force: The Canadian Group of Painters is the first major exhibition to focus exclusively on this important artistic group. Bringing together works from public and private collections across Canada (forty-eight paintings by forty-eight key members), this exhibition conveys the richness of the group's practice: new visions of landscape, bold depictions of people and fresh experiments in abstraction. Represented are artists as diverse as André Biéler, Jack Bush, Emily Carr, Paraskeva Clark, Lawren S. Harris, E. J. Hughes, Jack Humphrey, Prudence Heward, A. Y. Jackson, Pegi Nicol MacLeod, Jock Macdonald, David Milne, Lilias Torrance Newton, Goodridge Roberts, Carl Schaefer and Marian Dale Scott, among others.
This exhibition is organized and circulated by the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Queen's University, Kingston, in partnership with The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa, and Queen's University Archives, Kingston, and with the generous support of the Museums Assistance Program at Canadian Heritage, the Ontario Arts Council, the City of Kingston Arts Fund, and the George Taylor Richardson Memorial Fund and Janet Braide Memorial Fund, Queen's University.

Learning in Limestone: Beyond Classrooms at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre
Beyond Classrooms-Kingston is a program that moves teachers and their classrooms into community museums, art galleries and community sites for an entire week. On this edition of Learning in Limestone, we'll follow the student detectives as they investigate the Arts at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre on the campus of Queen's University.
How do we make art in order to expresses our thoughts and feelings? What tools might an artist use to do this? Does art influence us? Mike Lacey’s Grade 5 class from Rideau Heights Public School spent a week in pursuit of the answers.
