The Beaverbrook Art Gallery, located directly adjacent to the conference hotel, hosts a variety of new exhibits each month and maintains a permanent collection that is divided into four sub-collections: the British Collection, The Canadian Collection, the International Collection, and the New Brunswick Collection. The core of the British Collection is the original Beaverbrook collection with which the gallery opened, including the crown jewel of the collection, Salvador Dali's 13-foot tall Santiago El Grande. In the Canadian Collection, the gallery hosts an extensive collection of 19th- and 20th-century Canadian artists, including many works by Emily Carr, David Milne, and Jean-Paul Riopelle. Within the Canadian Collection there is an emphasis on work from the Atlantic region, and the Gallery has extensive holdings of work by Christopher Pratt, Bruno Bobak, and Jack Humphrey. The International Collection contains representative works from the 14th to the 20th centuries. The Hosmer Pillow Vaughan Collection of Fine and Decorative Arts forms part of the International Collection. Information on temporary exhibits that will be available during the DASP meeting can be found here. Unfortunately, the gallery is only open 9:00am-5:00pm, except 9:00am-9:00pm on Thursday, so this may have to be a lunch outing for attendees.
