Founder & Curator
Chief Curator Of Art and community engagement
Nickolas Gaines is a father, educator, pastoral psychotherapist, international speaker, curator, and veteran. He has a long career dedicated to physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being and guiding people to find their own resilience and strength.
As Chief Curator at Daisha Board Galleries, he seeks to curate art exhibitions that serve as a window and mirror for viewers- a window into the lives of people’s experiences and identities that people may not be familiar with, and a mirror of representation so that people of color, LGTBQIA+, persons with disabilities, and gender diverse people can see themselves, their experiences, and identities amplified and centered. He sees art as a conduit of healing, portal for community care, and a tangible symbol to exist in our fullness.
Nickolas is a prominent scholar-practitioner who has a wealth of experience, expanding over 20 years of service in local, national, and international communities.
