CiR and GAP x SAR Okanagan Curator Award Winner

Victoria Verge is a Canadian curator and artist based in Kelowna, B.C., where she serves as Curator at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. Her curatorial practice focuses on contemporary art in relation to place, shaped by feminist and decolonial approaches, with a commitment to accessibility and artist-centred presentation.

She holds an MFA from the University of British Columbia Okanagan and a BFA from Memorial University of Newfoundland. Verge has exhibited nationally and was the recipient of the Audain Travel Award in 2023. In 2025, she was selected for the Canadian Forces Artists Program, advancing her research in the intersections of domestic life, mobility, and militarized experience.

Alongside her curatorial work, Verge maintains a studio practice shaped by her upbringing in a military family and her roots in Newfoundland. Working through sculptural and installation-based practices, her work draws on domestic and folk traditions to examine how militarized and patriarchal structures shape experiences of home, memory, and childhood from within.
