She received her Associate degree at the Rochester Institute of Technology's School for American Craftsmen. In 1970, she moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada to study at the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD University,) and graduated with an Associate degree (A.O.C.A.). Artistic careerAstman's practice is partly composed of public art installations in Canada and abroad, including an installation at the Calgary Winter Olympics in 1987. Recently, she completed a project for the new Canadian Embassy in Berlin, Germany[3] consisting of a fritted glass tower wall. She joined the faculty of OCAD in 1975 and is a Professor in the Faculty of Art. Her work is in both in both public and private collections; she is represented by the Corkin Gallery, Toronto. Early careerIn the 1970s, she began exploring Polaroid technology and Xerography as a vehicle for art making. Her first successful solo show was held in 1973, at Toronto's Baldwin Street Gallery of Photography. Two years later, the Still Photography Division of the National Film Board of Canada now called the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, Ottawa hosted her first museum show. Astman began the Colour Xerox Artist's Program at Visual Arts Ontario in 1977. She sat on the Board of Directors at the Art Gallery at Harbourfront (now called The Power Plant) from 1983-85. Since then, other board positions have included: the City of Toronto, Public Art Commission; the Curatorial Team for the International WaterWorks Exhibition in 1988. Her initial commercial venture was the creation of the album cover for the first Loverboy record for CBS Records. Mid careerLiz Wylie curated Astman's mid-career retrospective, Barbara Astman: Person/Persona A 20 Year Survey Exhibition in 1995. It opened at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, and then toured three other Canadian museums. The Art Gallery of Ontario reopened in 2008, after a year's redevelopment by architect Frank Gehry. Astman and AGO Assistant Curator Georgiana Uhlyarik were chosen to co-curate an exhibit focusing on Joyce Weiland and early feminist practice.[4] AwardsAstman has received grants from the Ontario Arts Council (OAC) and the Canada Council (CC)[5] in support of her art practice since 1974 and has also adjudicated numerous OAC and CC applications. In 2000 she was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy.[6] Public collectionsAstman's work is held in the following permanent collections:
