A self-proclaimed lifelong learner, Brandy Dahrouge was born in Calgary and considers herself fortunate to have grown up around Treaty 7 territory. Her artistic practices include music, specifically classical piano, which she studied at Red Deer College, as well as visual arts and photography at the University of Calgary, and media arts at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. It is with this background that Dahrouge has returned to her hometown to take on the role of director of public art at Calgary Arts Development.
In her public art role, Dahrouge now finds herself supporting other artists and enabling them to express and tell their stories — and she approaches this opportunity with excitement.
