Hello summer staff, part 3.

Last week, we began introducing our summer staff, interview style. This week, meet Chelsea Boida, our new Programs Assistant.

What are you going to be doing at Latitude 53 this summer?

My main role will be with the Incubator Series, which is a weekly show in Latitude 53’s community gallery that features works in progress. Also, I will be assisting with coordinating the Draw event, the archives, programs and exhibitions, and rentals. It’s my first time being employed in an arts organization, although I have been interested in this kind of work for years.

What’s your favourite thing about Edmonton’s arts community, and specifically Latitude 53? What are you looking forward to this summer, festivities-wise?

The city of Edmonton is small enough and large enough that there are a lot of opportunities to contribute to the arts community and be supported. Along this line, I like how Latitude 53 takes on programming challenges and builds connections among artistic entities.

I am from Edmonton, and this summer I’m looking forward to visiting galleries, camping, and finding out what has changed over the last two years when I lived in Vancouver.

Where did you go to school? What did you study there?

I love being in school, and I imagine myself always taking some kind classes. Some topics I have dabbled in are web design and geography. As well I have finished a Bachelor of Fine Arts and an Office Administration diploma.

What kind of hobbies have you been entertaining recently?

Gardening, cooking and home brewing are my major excitements these days. I consider it witchcraft.
