Melanie Kjorlien is responsible for the inner workings that will transform the longstanding Calgary institution into a museum for our day.
. Kjorlien is also proud of exhibitions developed in-house, such as Made in Calgary, a series of five shows with each representing a decade of our own art history. “As a city, we needed to have a spotlight on our own artists,” she says.
Kjorlien has also been instrumental in bringing in artists and creatives in other fields to do novel projects with Glenbow’s vast collection.Originally from Rocky Mountain House, she worked in broadcasting and corporate communications before coming to Glenbow in the early 1990s to write and co-edit a documentary on Sybil Andrews, a visionary 20th century British/Canadian artist, whose core work is in the Glenbow collection.
While reconstruction continues on the exterior and interior of the Glenbow building, Kjorlien is overseeing anearby. Visitors to the space can see shows through December 2024, free of charge. As Glenbow’s physical building undergoes a metamorphosis, the museum is also re-examining its role in the community. Kjorlien’s calm, professional leadership style; her committment and her extensive institutional memory will serve the museum well as it embraces so much change.
