This week we welcome Shanice Figeroux, a New York City visual and performing artist dedicated to fostering mental wellness and community through art. Rooted in her native neighborhood, Queens, her practice spans diverse collaborations with nonprofits, research institutions, city councils, corporations, businesses, schools, and faith-based organizations– all focused on creating impactful programming for women, children, and communities of color.
Building on a strong foundation established through participation in the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs’ Public Artist in Residence programs, Figeroux has partnered with esteemed organizations such as ArtBridge, City Artist Corps, Jamaica BID, A Little Piece of Light, Street Lab, VFW veterans events, Pomonok Community Center, Cohen’s Children’s Hospital, Montefiore Children’s Hospital, the Blaque Resource Network, and the World Health Organization.
These experiences have shaped her approach to community-engaged art, emphasizing collective creative practices as a catalyst for transformation and growth.
