Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery

Founded in 1966, the Sir George Williams Art Galleries were renamed Concordia Art Gallery in 1984. In 1992, the Gallery was relocated to the newly constructed library complex and inaugurated as the Leonard and Bina Ellen Art Gallery in honour of important benefactors to the Concordia University. The Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery is located in downtown Montreal on the campus of Concordia University, one of Quebec’s most culturally diverse and accessible universities. The Gallery’s programme of exhibitions, events, activities and publications focuses on artmaking today and on its recent history as it interfaces with various curatorial strategies. Its program responds to the communities, issues, tensions, projections, and changes that shape the society we live in. Artmaking and curating are seen to be at the crossroads of disciplines and as sites to engage in free critical thinking.
