Adrien Crossman (b.1988) is a queer and non-binary white settler artist, educator, and curator residing on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe in so-called Hamilton, Ontario. They hold an MFA in Visual Art from the University of Windsor (2018) and a BFA in Integrated Media with a Minor in Digital and Media Studies from OCAD University (2012). Crossman is interested in the affective qualities of queerness, investigating how queerness can be felt through specific aesthetics and sensibilities. In addition to having exhibited across Canada and internationally, Adrien co-founded the online arts publication off centre. Crossman is an Assistant Professor in the School of the Arts at McMaster University and the Director of Orchid Contemporary, a DIY gallery and community space they run out of their garage.
