ChelseaHerzig.

Educator, artist, arts administrator.

Arts educator, administrator, and ceramic artist based in New York's Hudson Valley. Chelsea's work sits at the intersection of intimacy, education, and community engagement, with a focus on empowering young people and expanding access to the arts.

Chelsea's work spans museums, community arts organizations, and public school classrooms across New York's Hudson Valley. She earned dual undergraduate degrees from SUNY New Paltz: a B.S. in Visual Arts Education (Pre-K–12) with a concentration in ceramics, and a B.F.A. in Ceramics. Her studio training in both functional and sculptural ceramics continues to shape the way she approaches art as both a personal practice and a tool for community connection. She is recently earned an M.S. in Arts Administration and Museum Leadership at Drexel University (2026), where she is developing expertise in nonprofit leadership, strategic planning, and cultural policy. Alongside her administrative work, Herzig has taught visual arts across grade levels from elementary through high school and continues to explore the role of art in education and community building. Whether teaching a classroom of young artists, developing large-scale arts programs, or curating exhibitions, she approaches her work with a commitment to equity, creativity, and community engagement.
