Xcurated believes 'curating' to be a context specific creative endeavour that presents artwork in a cohesive critical, social, and theoretical framework for contemporary audiences to engage with openly.

Currently comprised of a small number of independent and emerging curators in the Kingston community, including: Matthew Hills, Jocelyn Purdie, and Riva Symko, the collective endeavours to engender an increased appreciation of, and literacy for, the visual arts in Kingston with the ongoing development of a variety of unique curatorial projects emphasising creative excellence and 'of the moment' artistic practice. Formed with an eye to innovative and atypical curatorial activity, xcurated is informed by recent trends in the Canadian art world that seek both fresh methods of exhibiting contemporary art, and new audiences for those exhibitions.

Xcurated is supported by an ever-growing network of local art professionals who assist in curating, planning and advising our project initiatives.
