*About Lower Mainland Curators Group*

The Lower Mainland Curators Group (LMCG) was created in January 2019 for
anyone with an interest in curatorial work, ideas, or themes in British
Columbia.

The group is coordinated by a team of volunteer organizing members from
museums around Metro Vancouver to discuss topics or themes related to
curatorial work. It is for anyone with an interest in our sector including
students, museum workers, and those in professions facing similar issues.

We present quarterly virtual and in-person sessions to discuss newly
launched projects, share challenges and successes, and discuss lessons
learned.
