“Jane Kidner is a professional curator who takes the time and effort to decide on a theme, hand select all of the images that will be in a show, organize and set-up the exhibit and then promote the show through a variety of media. Through her curation she creates a visual experience of art showcasing talented photographers for others to discover. As a photographer I found her to be a knowledgeable, helpful and supportive curator."

- John Faragher, fine art photographer

“I worked with Jane Kidner several times for the Scotiabank Contact Festival, and she is an excellent curator who is a complete professional. Both of the exhibitions that I was part of with Jane were  beautifully curated, and it has been my complete pleasure to work with Jane.

— Leah Oates, fine art photographer

“Jane Kidner is a superb curator. First, she recognizes talent, what’s good, what’s superb, what’s only ordinary. This is the most important qualification for a curator. Second, she is a pleasure to work with. She is kind, responsible and thorough. And lastly, she knows value, what a piece is worth. This is most important for the artist, so their work is fairly valued, and ultimately for the customer as well.”

— Victor Peters, fine art photographer

“I have been so impressed by Jane’s work as a curator and artist representative. She is kind, knowledgeable, has a beautiful disposition, and is a pleasure to work with. If I were to describe her exhibitions in one word, it would be synergism. She can recognize artists who show promise and art with merit, but it is the way in which she pulls an exhibition together that connects artists, and their work to a larger theme that greatly elevates the individual artist and their pieces. Her exhibitions are meaningful works of art. Jane has influenced me to see my work in a different, and incredibly positive light and move forward in my development as an artist. She has been instrumental in helping me to move my work from more private practice to the public artist space and for this, I am so grateful. Jane is a joy to work with. I have felt deeply respected in all my communication with Jane. She offers guidance and answers questions in a clear and informative manner. She is flexible, has a positive attitude, and is willing to work hard to accomplish the outcome she desires. I recommend her so highly.”
