Chelsea Herzig is an arts educator, administrator, and ceramic artist based in New York’s Hudson Valley. Her work sits at the intersection of creativity, education, and community engagement, with a focus on empowering young people and expanding access to the arts.

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 currently pursuing an M.S. in Arts Administration and Museum Leadership at Drexel University (expected 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.
