April Hickox

April Ann Hickox (April 24, 1955 – August 15, 2025) was a Canadian lens-based artist, photographer, teacher and curator whose practice included various media, such as photography, film, video and installation.

Hickox once said "I think in my work, I have always worked with history, place and a sense of self, and sometimes language, communication and voice". Her work was often based on narratives which recorded aspects of humanity and nature and explored the relationship between the two with collective memories from human histories and activities.

She was a long-term professor at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto besides being the founding director of Gallery 44 Centre For Contemporary Photography and a founding member of Tenth Muse Studio and Artscape Toronto. She was also a member of the curatorial board of Art With Heart, Casey House, Toronto.
