The Toronto Biennial of Art (TBA) Curatorial Encounters series invites all members of the arts community and the general public to meet the Biennial exhibition curator in advance of the next Biennial. This event is co-presented with the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, the main site of TBA 2026, and invites Curator Allison Glenn to share her practice, stories, and experiences curating international public art, biennials/triennials, and exhibitions. Allison will additionally discuss her approach to Toronto’s Biennial, opening September 26, 2026, in conversation with three members of TBA’s National Curatorial Advisory: Barbara Fischer (Executive Director and Chief Curator, Art Museum at the University of Toronto), David Diviney (Chief Curator, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia), and Michelle Jacques (Director of Exhibitions and Collections/Chief Curator, Remai Modern).

The first of TBA’s 2026 Curatorial Encounters takes place at University College, followed by light refreshments at the Art Museum. Please join us for meaningful conversations and new connections as we welcome Allison to Toronto.
