Céleste McNiven is a nerdy, passionate and sharp-minded bilingual multi-disciplinary artist, as well as this year's Pageant Accessibility Coordinator. Hailing from Montréal, she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in film production from Concordia University in 2021. Coming from a liberal arts background and transitioning into the world of film, Céleste developed a strong passion for the arts intertwined with intellectual curiosity. Her belief in authenticity, transparency, and the power of collaboration drives her creative journey as a writer, musician, filmmaker, and photographer—with the heart of a storyteller.

During the tumultuous times of COVID, her plans took an unexpected turn, leading her to move to PEI with her partner in search of a haven away from city life. Here, she discovered a beautiful arts community on the island, constantly evolving and growing, which welcomed her with open arms.

In a world full of change, Céleste embraces the creative chaos, finding beauty, authenticity and inspiration in the unpredictable twists of life.
