@ambreenehtisham
Contemporary visual artist and educator creating community-centered, award-winning artwork and exhibitions.
What I'm looking for
I am a contemporary visual artist and educator based in Calgary, Canada, with a track record of exhibitions, public collections, and awards. My practice bridges community engagement and studio work, earning recognition such as the Buffys Visual Arts Award and the People's Choice award.
I have exhibited in group shows (including Between Prayer and Protest, 2025) and have works held in public and organizational collections like FuseSocial and Arts Council Wood Buffalo. My work has been featured in regional press and broadcast interviews and I served as cover artist and guest contributor for NorthWord Literary Magazine.
As an arts educator I taught community art programs for the Regional Recreation Corporation of Wood Buffalo and the Canadian International Immigrant and Refugee Support Association (2023–2024), focusing on accessible arts programming and cultural inclusion. I have also been recognized in local publishing and magazines, including YMM Magazine's Top 50 under 50.
I bring a collaborative, community-first approach to projects, combining exhibition experience, public recognition, and hands-on teaching to contribute meaningfully to arts organizations or community arts initiatives.
