Timeline
Darlene Coward Wight (born 1948) is a Canadian art historian who has been Curator of Inuit art at the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) since 1986.
The gallery had collected Inuit art since 1957, initially, in part, due to Winnipeg’s business dealings with the Arctic, that is the city's historical status as a trading post of the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC).
Darlene Wight was born in Picton, Ontario and attended Peterborough Teachers' College (1967-1968); Carleton University, Ottawa, where she received her B.A. in Art History (with honors) in 1978, and her M.A. (with distinction), in 1980.
Since 1972, there has been a full-time curator at the gallery for this collection.
As the first curator of Inuit art, Jean Blodgett developed the gallery’s Inuit art collection, producing solo and group exhibitions with many catalogue publications.
Under Wight’s stewardship, major developments in Inuit art were defined and the collection doubled in size.
She worked at Carleton U as a teaching assistant in art history (1978-1979), then as the fine arts curator for Canadian Arctic Producers, Ottawa (1981-1984) and as an independent curator and researcher, Ottawa (1983-1986).
She was hired by the Winnipeg Art Gallery as associate curator of Inuit art (1986-1998), and became curator in 1998.
Wight helped make the Inuit Collection at WAG become more representative, geographically and chronologically.
Among the close to 100 exhibitions she coordinated and/or curated, Wight organized for the Winnipeg Art Gallery such major exhibitions as Out of Tradition, a 1989 exhibition of carvings by the brothers Abraham Anghik and David Ruben Piqtoukun.
She has been a regular contributor to Inuit Art Quarterly and has authored about 50 articles, papers and invited lectures.
She has given lectures on Inuit art across Canada and the U.S.
By 2013, after she received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Manitoba (2012), the WAG was said to have the largest collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world, or half of its permanent collection.
It received the Alexander Kennedy Isbister Award for Non-Fiction from the Manitoba Writers Guild (2013) and Goodreads gave it four out of five stars.
She also authored the on-line book Oviloo Tunnille: Life and Work available at https://www.aci-iac.ca/art-books/oviloo-tunnillie.
She co-authored the story of contemporary Inuit art of Canada in the book catalogue which she edited for her major survey exhibition, Creation and Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art (2014) which drew on 250 pieces from the gallery’s collection and was co-published by the gallery and Douglas & McIntyre.
