Curious how exhibitions actually get installed?

Join Exhibitions & Accessibility Manager, Kay Slater for a behind-the-scenes tour exploring the tools, techniques, and problem-solving particularities for each exhibition at grunt gallery. These informal, question-driven tours open up the often invisible labour of installation, access, and exhibition-making.

Come ask questions, learn practical skills, and see how exhibitions come together.

Bold, white sans-serif font, aligned left, appears on a black background at top, outlining free tours in February and March, 2026, led by blind Indo-Canadian emerging artist and writer, Gagan Kaur. The text information provided is available in the caption of this post. Gagan and their guide dog stand at the front of grunt gallery beside the white welcome cart station, below vinyl text on a white gallery wall reading, “Here/After, Amulets in Ritual. Rawan Hassan. Curated by Whess Harman. February 5 to March 21, 2026”. Gagan waves and smiles, she has short brown hair and is wearing jeans with a blue vest and pink long-sleeved shirt. Trees, grass, and a road are visible outside through the panels of glass that make up grunt gallery’s front building façade behind Gagan, at right. Grunt gallery’s logo appears in white at bottom left.
