Alyssa Fearon is Director/Curator at Dunlop Art Gallery and RPL Film Theatre, where she oversees the strategic and artistic direction of these unique units of RPL. Integral to Fearon’s curatorial practice is a community-based approach that prioritizes the voices of historically under-represented audiences.

Fearon was also Curator at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba (2018 – 2020). She has held positions at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Independent Curators International, and lecturer positions at York University, University of Toronto Scarborough, and Brandon University.
She holds an MBA from the Schulich School of Business and an MA in Art History from York University. Fearon is also a Salzburg Global Fellow and a member of Canadian Art Museum Directors Organization (CAMDO-ODMAC).
