New Face at the Owens

The Owens Art Gallery is pleased to announce that Mary MacDonald ('06) has been chosen for the internship position for 2007-2008. Now in its 12th year, this program provides a recent graduate of Mount Allison with a unique and professional experience working in a public gallery.

Alongside the staff at the Owens Art Gallery, Mary will be involved in exhibition installation, the writing of news releases, assisting with educational outreach and visiting artist programs, as well as adding her voice to the Digital Owens Project, a continuing effort to create a virtual place of learning to accompany the already physical gallery.

Originally from Pictou County, NS, Mary graduated from the fine arts program at Mount Allison in 2006 and has spent the last year exploring the artistic community in Halifax, NS. There she developed a great appreciation and interest in sharing that sense of community and aspires to become a liaison between both worlds. Mary is excited to learn from and add to the vibrancy at the Owens Art Gallery and is pleased to be a resident of Sackville once again.
