Lucas Cabral is an artist, curator, and arts administrator with a background in marketing, communications, and community engagement. Lucas completed his BFA at Western University and has since held positions at Harbourfront Centre, McIntosh Gallery, The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, and most recently as Executive Director at Artcite Inc. Lucas’ studio and curatorial practice are rooted in explorations of intimacy as nourishment and strategies of communication. 

Recent curatorial projects include HOTSPOT and I Can Boogie but I Need a Certain Song at Artcite Inc., Boogie Wonderland at LEFT Contemporary, and the 2021 Windsor/Essex Triennial of Contemporary Art at The Art Gallery of Windsor. Lucas contributed to the development of Inclusion 2025: A Practitioners Guide to Inclusive Museums, a project organized by the Royal Ontario Museum, Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion, and the Ontario Museum Association that aims to encourage public art institutions to meaningfully engage diverse communities. Lucas is an advocate for the work of artists and artist-run spaces and served on the board of ARCCO in 2020. 
Director of Operations and Development 
Dylan Dammermann

Dylan Dammermann is an artist and non-profit management specialist who lives in Peterborough with her partner and cat. She has coordinated artists for festivals and film productions, but her true passion is fostering welcoming and inclusive communities. You are just as likely to find her crunching data as you are to find her tending to her botanical dye garden. In either case she is always excited to share what she is working on. 
Thank You Bec Groves!
The Board of Directors expresses its appreciation to Bec Groves for all the contributions she has made to Artspace over the years and in this unusual time of Covid.

Thank you so much Bec for everything you have done for the organization. We wish you well for the future and will miss you. You are a rock!
