An artist with more than 25 years of experience as a cultural worker in Canada has been named the new director of the University of Saskatchewan Art Galleries.

Effective July 1, jake moore will oversee the four galleries on the university's campus, as well its 6,000-piece permanent collection. She will also serve as a faculty member in the department of art and art history.

“This is a remarkable opportunity in an active and welcoming environment,” said moore. “I am, at heart, a prairie person; I was born on Treaty One territory in St. Boniface, Manitoba. My early artistic works all addressed that land and its articulation—its occupation, its use and its incredible beauty.”

Moore, currently a doctoral student at Montreal's McGill University, was the director of the Faculty of Fine Arts Gallery at Concordia University from 2009 to 2014.
