For forty years, DARE-DARE has moved forward as a pathfinder — at times a tightrope walker, often stepping sideways. It has surfaced where least expected, claimed the in-between spaces, shifted the lines, choosing productive friction over the straight and narrow. Forty years of treating art as an active verb: to spill over, to infiltrate, to connect.

Artist and cultural worker originally from Calgary and based in Montreal, Rhys Buhl completed her studies in visual arts at Concordia University, specializing in new media arts and art history. She has specialized experience coordinating and producing in art centers and artist-run environments, such as VIVA! Art Action, Turbine, Eastern Bloc and OBORO. In her work, she explores harm reduction, negociation of public spaces, and social well-being. She is interested in creating spaces of care and comfort developed by and for vulnerable communities. Eventually, she would like to set up a dynamic center specializing in youth and community programs, rooted in social practice and collaborative arts.
In 2024 and 2025, Rhys shared the role of Co-Director of Artistic Programming at DARE-DARE on an alternating basis.
