About Shey Rivera Ríos
I’m a dynamic arts leader with 15 years of experience at the intersection of arts, culture, and community development. I lead with bold artistic vision, grounded strategy, and a deep commitment to artists and communities as drivers of social imagination, civic engagement, and collective wellbeing.My work focuses on building and stewarding arts infrastructures that support artists and culture bearers, strengthen communities across geographies, and advance justice-centered futures. Grounded in Design Justice principles, Just Transition frameworks, and the cultural and organizing lineages I belong to, my practice focuses on leading artistic strategy, strengthening creative ecosystems, supporting artist-led initiatives, and connecting arts and culture to broader movements for equity and policy change.
