A Tale of Two Faculties
Competing Visions of Art at the University of Regina 1950-1980
December 20, 2012 - February 24, 2013
The presentation of The Synthetic Age: Fine Arts Faculty at the University of Regina and First Nations University of Canada provides an ideal opportunity to reflect on the history of visual arts education in Regina. A Tale of Two Faculties looks back at the formative years from 1950 to 1980, when competing visions of art made the University the centre of a heated debate about the future of arts education and its relationship to society at large.
