Wedge Curatorial Projects (WCP) is a non-profit organization with a focus on Black identity in contemporary art. Wedge organizes exhibitions and lectures that explore Diasporic narratives, identity, and issues of representation. Exhibiting local and international artists, Wedge is fueled by collaboration, creativity, and accessibility in the arts.
Wedge was established in 1997 by Kenneth Montague and evolved from a commercial gallery into a curatorial organization. Originally conceived to be both a private and public art experience, the original gallery was located in Montague’s home in Toronto, literally ‘wedged’ inside the hallway of his loft. Wedge Curatorial Projects quickly became a well-respected initiative that "wedged" black artists into a mainstream market and filled a gap in Toronto’s art community.
For over 20 years WCP has worked with local and international organizations to create original exhibitions, collaborate with guest curators and artists, host lectures and educational programs, publish books, and programming that speak to youth about shaping their own identity.
