​Welcome to my world of culture, creativity, and connection. I operate with a core philosophy rooted

in the belief that every story deserves to be seen, heard, and honoured. I fulfill this commitment

by working at the powerful intersection of Cultural Leadership and Personal Transformation.

​

I'm Francesca Durham, an Independent Curator and Creative Mentor.

​

Two Paths. One Purpose.

​

Ultimately, my work is united by one central purpose: building bridges between potential

and possibility. This mission is to cultivate dialogue, memory, and healing through

contemporary visual storytelling. And it's delivered through two specialized services:

Curatorial Services and Creative Mentoring for Women's Wellness.

​

Curatorial Services

​

I design and lead cultural programs for Organizations, Municipalities, and Galleries. My focus is on curating impactful exhibitions that celebrate Black identity, honour heritage, and foster inclusive, community-rooted storytelling. I bring eight plus years of experience to your vision, including my work on the Emancipation Art Exhibition, Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton and the Art Gallery of Burlington.

Creative Mentoring for Women's Wellness

This is a dedicated service for Women Navigating Transition. I provide holistic guidance through Creative Mentoring, using the intuitive MARI® Assessment to help you find clarity and confidence. Move from feeling stuck to being certain about your next chapter.

Speaking & Workshops

​

I speak on topics that align personal strengths, creative resilience, and non-linear career paths. My presentations are designed to be empowering, insightful, and practical, helping teams and individuals "Find Your Lane" by connecting their core values to future action. Jimisen Padiyath, WIT Rep for OACETT, noted that my session was an "integral part of the High Tea event," and I am grateful to collaborate with organizations seeking impactful, transformative presentations.

My Commitment

​

I believe art is cultural memory, community healing, and personal transformation. My approach is rooted in the belief that my work, whether curating an exhibition, speaking to an audience, or guiding a client, is about building bridges between your potential and your possibilities. I blend arts leadership, recruitment, and holistic mentoring to ensure every story can thrive.
