We’re excited to share that Briar Sutherland has stepped into a new role as Curatorial Coordinator – Public Gallery and Contemporary Collections at the Art Gallery of Peterborough!
Briar has worked with the Gallery for more than 13 years, contributing to exhibition installation, collections management, visitor services, communications, operations support, and volunteer coordination. She holds an Honours degree in Art History with a Fine Art Studio Minor from York University and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Museum Management and Curatorship from Fleming College. Her professional experience also includes work in exhibition coordination, guest curation, cultural heritage, public art, and accessibility.
Through these varied experiences, Briar brings a rich combination of practical and theoretical knowledge to this new role. Her work alongside artists and curatorial teams has shaped a thoughtful approach to how artists and their work are cared for, contextualized, and positioned to create meaning and build connections with audiences.
Briar shares:
“I’m so excited to step into this role and contribute in new ways to an institution and community that has been such an important part of my professional life. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to work across many areas of the AGP, gaining different perspectives on the work of a public gallery and its audiences. Through all of my professional experiences, supporting artists and their work has remained at the centre of my practice. I’m looking forward to bringing those perspectives together in this new role and continuing to foster meaningful connections between artists, artworks, and our community.”
Congratulations, Briar! We’re excited to see where this next chapter takes you and the AGP.

Today we’re spotlighting the work of Jim Dine from the AGP #PermanentCollection! Taking inspiration from his piece “8 Hearts / Look,” here are eight fun facts about the artist:
❤️ The heart is a recurring motif in his work. He uses the ubiquitous shape to experiment with texture and colour.
🧡 For the artist the heart is more than a symbol, it is a continuous self-portrait. His emotional connection to the shape stems from a childhood valentine!
💛 He was an important part of the performance-based Happenings movement with Swedish American artist Claes Oldenburg and Amercian artist Allan Kaprow. Happenings were live performances that relied heavily on audience participation that often blended visual art, poetry, and dance.
💚 Dine has worked across a variety of mediums including printmaking, photography, sculpture, drawing, performance, painting, and even poetry!
🩵 His work sits outside the standard categories used to define artistic movements, but is considered part of Pop Art, Neo-Dada, and Neo-expressionism.
🖤 Since 1960 his work has been shown in over 300 solo exhibitions.
🩶 Dine focuses on personal touches and evidence of the human hand in his printmaking practice to counter the mechanical nature of the medium.
🌈 His work is held in many collections all over the world including the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), Centres Georges Pompidou (Paris, France), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), and the Art Gallery of Peterborough!
Big thanks to Anna, our Summer Curatorial & Public Engagement Assistant, for pulling this collection spotlight together! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵🖤🩶 “8 Hearts / Look,” is on display at the AGP until October 4, 2026. Check it out on your next visit.
