Kayleigh Hall is a seasoned curator, instructor, and arts researcher who has worked in a variety of arts sectors: commercial and public galleries, government and post-secondary environments. She values collaboration, mentorship, and fostering emerging talent, and studies ways that artistic practice and entrepreneurship are mutually beneficial. She studies how artists and curators use new methods to create experiences with art, teaches post-secondary students about organizing exhibitions and trends, while outlining the beneficial methods of developing a professional mindset and communication style in different contexts for artists and designers.

Previous projects have included retrospectives of Western Canadian artists, Indigenous exhibitions working as a co-curator with artists and scholars of the TRC, organizing traveling exhibitions (RBC Painting and Kingston Prize Portrait competitions, and “Off the Beaten Path” about violence and women), and curating group shows featuring artists who have unique voices and styles.

Currently, Kayleigh is a sessional instructor at the Alberta University of the Arts, where she teaches business, entrepreneurship, curatorial discourses, and art history. She holds an MA in the Histories of Art (University of East Anglia) and in 2020, completed her Advanced Management certificate through the Yale School of Management. She is also the curator of the Bow Valley College art collection and is a published art writer.
