Arts Assembly
Curator
Arts Assembly is a not-for-profit, community-centric arts organization that emphasizes artistic collaboration. It is committed to working with social practice and research-based interdisciplinary artists who are similarly working to expand the notion of what art can be and do. Co-directed by Whitney Brennan and Meichen Waxer, Arts Assembly creates opportunities for artists to engage critically with communities through accessible programming, including residencies, workshops, and public projects. Rooted in care, reciprocity, and process, the organization fosters dialogue and experimentation while building meaningful relationships across disciplines and geographies. Arts Assembly operates between Vancouver and Toronto.
