Feminist Art Gallery
Feminist Art Gallery (or FAG) is an art gallery and collective based in Toronto, Ontario, described as a “geographical footprint” co-founded by artists Allyson Mitchell and Deirdre Logue in 2010.[1]
History
Allyson Mitchell and Deirdre Logue founded the Feminist Art Gallery (FAG) in 2010."[2] The gallery operates alternatively to traditional galleries in the sense that artists do not submit proposals, and Mitchell and Logue act as "feral curators", which means they look to friends and peers to suggest which artists to show.[3] The art is also not for sale, rather the artists receive a fee from private donations raised through its "matronage program".[3] FAG has collaborated with institutions such as SFMOMA, Tate Modern, and were the artists in residence in 2015 at The Art Gallery of Ontario.[4] They have also done projects with the Whippersnapper Gallery, The Power Plant, The Gallery of York University, Access Gallery, and Artists Independent Archives .[2]
