My name is Krystal, and my passion lies with artistic expression, and community/cultural development. I completed my Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in both Art History and History at Queen‘s University, including an extensive international study experience in the UK. When I'm not reading, I'm writing historical research papers for my own amusement. I cultivate the HiVE’s community through public programming and art curation as the Community Manager. In addition, I am heavily involved with both the Vancouver and international arts community through my work with the Vancouver Art Gallery, and Rennie Museum. My extensive experience within both public and private art institutions has provided me with the opportunity to collaborate with multiple creatives in various interdisciplinary sectors. My work within these institutions has included: Art Consultancy, Curation, Art Education, Exhibition Preparation, Public Programs, Research, Art Criticism, Communications, Marketing, and Event Planning.
