My name is Samantha Oleschuk (she/her/hers). I am an emerging arts professional, art writer, and arts reseacher. In May 2024, I graduated with university and departmental honors from Appalachian State University, earning a B.A. in Art and Visual Culture with a concentration in Art Management and minors in Nonprofit Organizations and French and Francophone Studies.
I have a passion for art, writing, and community; I am dedicated to accessible, inclusive, and transformational art programming. My honors thesis work was centered on creative aging programs for older adults, often those living with dementia, in museums, cultural institutions, and organizations, with a special focus on dreaming into the future for greater sustainability. This research informed the development of a storytelling resource to share the impact of creative aging programs, encourage advocacy, and garner cross-sector support.
I currently write visual and performing arts reviews for the Cultural Voice of North Carolina (CVNC). While studying at App State, I worked as the Art Collections and Looking Glass Gallery Manager in the Plemmons Student Union on Appalachian State University's campus. This past summer, I interned at FRANK Gallery in Carrboro, NC and participated in Burnaway's Art Writing Incubator program.
