Christiana Ine-Kimba Boyle has made her mark as she departs from the renowned Pace Gallery and retraces her roots to CANADA Gallery, this time as a Partner and Co-Owner.
"I’m beyond excited to bring a fresh perspective and nearly four years of senior leadership experience at Pace to a gallery historically known for defying conventions. CANADA has always been a disruptor—a gallery that moves with agility, forges true community, and captures audiences in ways the giants simply can’t,” Boyle states in an announcement from CANADA.
Already an accomplished Senior Sales Director and Curator, the young gallerist played an instrumental role at CANADA through the curation of their acclaimed exhibition “Black Femme: Sovereign of WAP and the Virtual Realm”, and the development of the gallery's first online viewing platform.
Looking to the future at Boyle’s new role at CANADA, Boyle is committed to pushing the envelope further, putting her identity as a young black woman in power at the forefront of her mission to transform the contemporary art realm. “As a young black woman gallerist in this leadership position, I am committed to doing what CANADA does best: amplifying all voices that have long been overlooked,” Boyle states.
Boyle is set to make her first exhibition return with CANADA on January 16, 2025, a two-person exhibition featuring paintings by the late Denzil Hurley and New York-based artist Reginald Sylvester. Her second exhibition will follow on January 23, 2025, featuring a group show supporting Eighth House Residency’s annual benefit. Each exhibition reflects CANADA and Boyle’s commitment to inclusivity, transparency, and supporting underrepresented demographics.
Just as the 30-year-old Partner and Co-Owner steps into her new role, CANADA prepares for a new era—one that honors its past while forging a future centered on inclusion and fresh perspectives, as they've been over the past 25 years in operation.
