Sara Lopez Assu

Sara Lopez Assu has been appointed as executive director of the Campbell River Art Gallery on Vancouver Island, effective this month.

Born and raised in Montreal, she holds a Bachelor of Arts from Concordia University in urban planning, and has worked in marketing and communications.

"I moved to Campbell River so that my husband and kids could form deeper connections with their Kwakwaka'wakw culture and extended family," she says. 

"I advocate for women’s rights, Indigenous rights, and have been personally involved in the contemporary Indigenous art scene for over a decade. I'm passionate about education, enjoy political debates, hold space for otherwise disempowered voices, and will respectfully challenge the status quo when given the chance."
