Update on The Reach

Laura Schneider is an award winning curator and museum administrator. She has held curatorial and executive roles in Canadian arts organizations from coast to coast and is currently Executive Director at The Reach Gallery Museum in Abbotsford, BC.  

Schneider believes that the arts have the power to shape individuals and communities, and is committed to supporting artists and integrating creative practice more fully into the lives of those around her. With a keen understanding of public galleries as dynamic and dialogic spaces she envisions these places as nerve centers of cultural and community life where difficult conversations can occur and understanding and empathy can thrive. 

She holds degrees in Art History from Queen’s University (Kingston, ON) and Carleton University (Ottawa, ON), a Bachelor of Education degree (University of Ottawa, ON), and professional certificates in Museum Leadership (Kellogg School of Business, Northwestern University, IL) and Collections Management (University of Victoria, BC).
