Amy Nugent: The Sculpture Fund

Amy Nugent: The Sculpture Fund

Contributor

March 2018 – August 2019

Amy Nugent is a Vancouver-based cultural worker and resource developer. As the former president of Artspeak’s board, she has been recognized with a 2016 Mayor’s Arts Award from the City of Vancouver. Her own research over the past five years has focused on the history and restitution of sculptors Frances Loring (1887–1968) and Florence Wyle (1881–1968), the current state of Canadian art collections and the limited acquisition funds to support them.

From March 2018 to August 2019, Nugent worked as a 221A Fellow. Her project examines the history of Frances Loring and Florence Wyle, who were crucial members of Canada’s early 20th century art history. The contributions of these artists has been unfairly eluded in national art history, and as a way to fulfill the final wishes in their last wills and testaments, Nugent’s research will develop The Sculpture Fund, a resource available to public galleries and museums for the commissioning and acquisition of sculpture by woman and non-binary artists. Public programs and a research collection at Pollyanna 圖書館 Library accompanied Nugent’s research.
