Megan Arnold is a multidisciplinary artist living in Guelph, ON. In her work, she uses humour as a coping mechanism to deal with anxiety in the face of an impending apocalypse. Much of their practice is rooted in cabaret and bar entertainment, which is the great irony of their life as someone who likes to go to bed at 9pm. Current research interests include dogs, magic, speculative fiction, and love.
Megan has participated in residencies in Ontario, Newfoundland, the UK, and Iceland. They obtained a BFA from the University of Western Ontario and an MFA from the University of Guelph, where she now teaches as a sessional instructor. Recently, she has presented work at LIVE Biennale (Vancouver, BC), the Guelph Comedy Festival (Guelph, ON), PINCH Cabaret (Waterloo, ON), and Eastern Edge (St. John’s, NF). Her favourite activity used to be karaoke, but now it might be lying down.
