Quick update1

It is with tenderness and pride that we bid farewell to our phenomenal Co-director, Dan Cardinal McCartney.

Dan has been with Stride Gallery in multiple capacities since 2020, he has been an incredible Assistant Director and Co-Director. His care and wisdom has brought forward a path to anti-racist, decolonial, and q***r possibilities at Stride fostering a beautiful community of care.

Dan has done so much for Stride in the past 5 years, so to highlight a couple monumental moments:

In April of 2024, Dan curated Process: Presence and Resurgence, Stride’s first ever group exhibition showcasing only Two Spirit, Transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse artists. This was also Dan’s first solo curation, the first of many!

In July 2024, Dan as one of the first Co-Directors in Stride’s history, alongside eva, helped to lead the organization in moving into a new and safer location, with attention on ensuring better support for future staff and artists.

At the start of 2025, Dan saw through the beginnings of Stride’s newest programming, our Residency + Exhibition program, hosted here in the gallery space. During a year of continual shifting and change following Stride’s move and staff transitions, Dan onboarded the new Co-Director team with patience and grace. He has remained a great mentor and friend for the new team, while imparting all his amazing institutional knowledge and experience as a practicing artist.

Although we are sad to see Dan go, not all is lost, he will still be lurking amongst Stride’s archives for the next year as our new Archivist!

Thank you Dan for all your care, consideration, and the knowledge you have shared with this community. We cannot thank you enough!

-Co-Directors, Mell and Lex, on behalf of Stride Gallery
