The WARC Curatorial Research Library is one of Canada's foremost repositories of visual and textual documentation of contemporary Canadian women artists working in all genres and representative of diverse ideological, cultural and theoretical perspectives. We invite emerging as well as more senior artists to submit information about their visual/media art practice at any stage of their careers. We welcome email files, and/or hard copy materials such as your CV; documentation of past and new work, artist statements, slides, CD's DVD's; and any dissemination materials such as exhibition invites, catalogues, newspaper and magazine articles. The facility, used by artists, curators, writers, publishers, filmmakers, educators and students currently holds 3000 + files and contributes to a continuing foundation of knowledge about contemporary art practices. It includes files gifted by OCAD's former Women's Artist/Slide Library and archives donated by the historic feminist arts organizations, Women's Cultural Building and Gallery 940. It also houses one of Canada's most comprehensive collections chronicling Joyce Wieland's life's work (1931 - 1998). Joyce Wieland was the first living woman artist to have been honoured with a solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada (True Patriot Love, 1971) and the first living woman artist to have been honoured with a retrospective at the Art Gallery of Ontario, (Joyce Wieland Retrospective, 1987). WARC curates and coordinates artist's talks/visual presentations in house as well as at schools, conferences and community events. WARC also offers professional assistance by appointment. Please call or email for a consultation. WARC is currently in the process of digitizing the files in our library in order to provide enhanced accessibility.
