🌱🌱🌱 Oxygen Art Centre is delighted to welcome Dara van der Meulen in the position of Residency Coordinator this summer!

With the support of the Canada Summer Jobs program, Dara joins the artist-run centre team for a 9-week contract supporting the summer residency, critical contemporary art research, and arts administration. 𝒲𝑒𝓁𝒸𝑜𝓂𝑒, 𝒟𝒶𝓇𝒶!

Dara (they/she) is an artist and student at the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute. As a q***r, neurodivergent artist, Dara is a lover of and advocate for offbeat and unconventional art processes. This focus extends into her therapeutic practice, as well. Their goal with every arts-based position they take on is to provide a fun, safe, and accessible environment for those engaged in the vulnerability of play and creativity. Dara is excited to dive further into Nelson’s art community as the Residency Coordinator at Oxygen for the summer. Outside of work you can usually find her climbing rocks with friends, scribbling in a tiny journal, or with her nose in a road-side free pile.
