New architectural renderings have been released for the major revamp of one of Kingston’s art galleries. The Agnes Etherington art centre on Queen’s University campus is set to receive a three-storey addition.
It’s a fixture of Kingston’s arts and culture scene and now the community is getting a first look at how the Agnes Etherington arts centre’s footprint will be expanded.
The museum, which is situated on Queen’s campus, has released two artist renderings of what the planned three-storey addition will look like.
“This art centre is doing it differently,” said Emelie Chhangur, director and curator of the Agnes Etherington arts centre. “We’re going through a community-engaged design process which gathers community input in the building of Agnes’s future cities. It takes into account our present moment, our decolonial moment, the truth and reconciliation calls to action.”
An exterior view from university avenue shows a new curvilinear structure attached to the historic Etherington house.
The museum said it will support a 200 per cent increase in exhibition and programming space and the first-ever indigenous self-determination area allowing Indigenous community members to engage with culturally significant artifacts currently residing at Agnes.
“Museums of the path of the future can no longer look like those of Canada’s colonial past, so I felt very committed to taking this opportunity to really be future-oriented,” Chhangur said.
The historic house itself will be turned into an artist’s live-in residence.
