Named one of Boston’s Top 10 Women in the Arts in 2008. McGregor has been an artist and cultural worker for over 25 years and a committed advocate for arts education. Her interest has been to explore the role of art in society, of art as an essential part of life and as a catalyst for social change. “I am passionate about work that is socially relevant, cross-cultural, trans-disciplinary and collaborative. My work has allowed me to pursue contemporary art questions about the contrasts between inclusion and exclusion, majority and minority, center and periphery, and the marginalization of certain cultural groups in our society.”“The URBANO project is an exciting continuation of my work: dealing with how art education provides us with the tools to better ourselves, to create a more egalitarian and just society, and through contemporary art address the pressing issues of our time.”Specialties: Trans-disciplinary, social justice, border-crosser, collaborative, entrepreneurial, contemporary art maven, public art, community-building, youth empowerment through the creative art process.
