Let’s imagine our future together!

12–21 May 2023
At the Owens and online

A circular vinyl decal is installed on the glass vestibule of the Owens Art Gallery. The stone building with copper siding sits atop a slight hill, with stairs leading to the entrance.

Let’s imagine our future together!

While a lot has changed over the last three years, the Owens remains your public and university art gallery. As we plan for the next five years, we want you to share your perspective with us… and we want you to have fun doing it! Take a moment to slow down, reflect, and give us your thoughts on two important questions: What is the Owens to you now? What could the Owens be in the future? To answer these questions, you can add words to the word cloud, write us a short note, make a drawing, or leave a longer message in the gallery or online. Don’t hesitate to linger, listen to music, and be creative. Your contributions will inform our strategic plan, which will be released this fall.

A group of people sit at a round table in a galley. Above the tables cut paper clouds dangle on a mobile. In the back corner, two people stand near a projection of a word-cloud answering the question "What is the Owens to you now?"

Blue cut paper clouds dangle on a mobile, each with handwritten answers to the question "What could be Owens be in the future". In the background, is a projection of a word-cloud answering the question "What is the Owens to you now?"

A word cloud made from dozens of colourful responses cluster below the question "What is the Owens to you now?". The largest answers "welcoming, history, inspiring", are surrounded by smaller words like "beautiful, innovative, serene, sackville, gathering space, clean quiet, interesting, students, educational" among many others.
