Allyson Mitchell 25th Anniversary Video Talk Now Online
As part of Canadian Art magazine’s 25th anniversary celebrations, video interviews were conducted with artists, curators, gallerists and other key individuals to get their feedback on the magazine and the national art scene it reflects. Revealing, entertaining and engaging, these interviews will be posted daily during the week of the 2009 Canadian Art Gallery Hop.
