Char Hoyt

Char Hoyt is a Vancouver-based professional artist and curator. She graduated from Emily Carr University in 1997 with a Diploma in Fine Arts and completed her BFA in 2019 with a Curatorial Minor. Around 2007 Hoyt discovered a love for science and has used her paintings to explore some of the deepest mysteries of modern physics. She has expanded and honed her project management skills in the local film industry working as a Production Designer and Art Director on various projects since 2011. In 2015, Hoyt gave a public talk about the merger of art and science in her work. This pivotal moment led to her role as a co-founder of the Vancouver-based non-profit Curiosity Collider Art-Science Foundation that same year.

As the lead curator and creative director for the Curiosity Collider, Hoyt enjoys challenging herself to create new experiences for diverse audiences that communicate her passion for the connections between the worlds of art and science.
