Chris Creighton-Kelly is an interdisciplinary artist, writer and cultural critic born in the UK with South Asian/British roots. His performative, usually ephemeral, artworks have been presented across Canada, in India, Europe and the USA. For over 30 years, he has also worked as an arts consultant for artists, arts organizations and institutions, as well as government agencies in Canada and abroad. In 1989-91, Chris was a consultant to the Canada Council on issues of cultural/racial equity. His work launched the formation of two critical offices – the Aboriginal Arts Office and the Equity Office that have subsequently led the way in transforming the Council from a mostly Eurocentric arts agency to one in which multiple art traditions and practices are funded. He is currently the Co-Director of Primary Colours/Couleurs primaires (Vancouver Island).
