## History

Indigenous artists Nadia Myre, Skawennati, Hannah Claus and Caroline Monnet founded the centre in 2020. It is named in honor of the Odawa-Potawatomi artist Daphne Odjig, and it is the first Indigenous artist-run centre in the province of Quebec.

In the Fall of 2020, Lori Beavis was hired as daphne’s first director. She describes the mission of daphne as being a gathering place, which centres the work of Indigenous artists.
