Cultivating spaces for extraordinary artists
Carrie Slawinska
Carrie (she/her) joined the team in 2015 as DASH's Administration Assistant, and later Communicatons and Administration manager. Following maternity leave in 2019, she returned to the team as Administration and Communications Assistant, in a shared role with Esther.
She has previously worked as a freelance artist, and in a variety of arts administration, technical and curatorial roles for various Midlands-based galleries and museums, and is currently also employed as a Curatorial Assistant at Wolverhampton Art Gallery alongside her role at DASH.
"Working for DASH is both challenging and rewarding. Over the past decade with DASH, the organisation has undergone significant change, but the work we have been doing has contributed considerably towards a shift in arts organisations becoming increasingly aware of how they can be more inclusive towards Disabled artists and audiences. The Board are really supportive of the great work that DASH are doing. I'm proud of the work we are doing to bring Disability Arts to mainstream audiences and to support both early-career and established Disabled Artists and people working in the arts."
Carrie studied Fine Art at Staffordshire University and has delivered practical arts and crafts sessions in a range of settings, including schools, galleries and museums and the Beacon Centre for people living with sight loss in Wolverhampton. She is poassionate about sustainability.
She is also a carer for a family member and two young children.
