About the artist

Alberta’s first Artist in Residence/Arts Ambassador was Lauren Crazybull, a Blackfoot Dene visual artist who resided in Edmonton during her term. Lauren engaged with communities across Alberta during her residency – from Medicine Hat to Fort McKay – and completed an art project, “TSIMA KOHTOTSITAPIIHPA Where are you from?” This multi-media installation premiered at Latitude 53 gallery in Edmonton on January 2020 and also exhibited at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery (SAAG) in Lethbridge from September through November 2020.

Following her residency, Lauren was awarded a 2020 Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artist Award and the 2020 Eldon and Anne Foote prize. Lauren was accepted to the Emily Carr University of Art + Design to complete a Master of Fine Art degree, and currently resides in Vancouver.
