Profile: HEATHER NICOL curator Last Update:July 14, 2015

Heather Nicol is an independent curator and interdisciplinary artist based in Toronto. Her curatorial projects have often explored site-specific conditions as found in decommissioned, underutilized, repurposed and educational locations, and have fostered opportunities for large groups of artists working across a wide range of disciplines.

As an artist, she has created site-specific installations for Art Brookfield Canada, (Allen Lambert Galleria, Toronto), Nuit Blanche, (Union Station – the Great Hall, Toronto), Sculpture Center (New York), the Brooklyn Academy of Music (New York), Hallwalls (Buffalo), Chateau de Courances (Milly, France), and Kunstlerhaus Betanien (Berlin), among others. She received her BFA (honours) from the School of Visual Arts in New York, MA in art education from NYU, and interdisciplinary MFA from OCAD University.
