Gallery and Museum Engagement (GAME*)

Conference June 4-6, 2026

MORE INFORMATION TO COME

Join us June 4-6, 2026, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Hosted by Remai Modern, sited on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River on Treaty 6 Territory and the Traditional Homeland of the Métis.

Museums and galleries provide safe spaces for communities to connect through critical inquiry, discussion, and creative problem-solving. During our time together at the annual GAME conference, we will explore methodologies for engaging deep institutional transformations and breaking down silos through shared audience-focused visions and interdepartmental collaboration. This conference will offer an opportunity to investigate topics of holistic community-centred experiences, relationship-building, and examine ways of reframing knowledge and access while honouring multiple perspectives and deconstructing dominant narratives. Join us in discussing and celebrating how we can all engage in this crucial work.

Our keynote speaker for 2026 is curator and writer Michelle Jacques, who is renowned for her expertise in advocating for institutional change, combining historical and contemporary art, and for her championship of regional artists. Other sessions include a visit to Wanuskewin Cultural Heritage Center, case studies, land-based engagement, panel discussion, special presentations, tours, and more. Most importantly, what GAME does best is creating networks among museum educators across the country. We are excited to hold space with you as we connect through ideas, community, and the land upon which we will gather.

*GAME was formerly Canadian Art Gallery Educators (CAGE), now with an expanded scope to include all gallery and museum educators across disciplines and content areas.
