As your partner and steward, you can expect the following outcomes from working with me:

Meet Jenifer Simon, Founder and Principal

I'm a seasoned arts administrator with 20 + years of experience, a respected consultant in the private and public sectors, a master training and development specialist with three certifications, an unparalleled creative career coach, and an artist myself.

I founded Honors in Art out of a dogged pursuit to inspire and support meaningful impact in and through the arts with these core values:

Best practice expertise

Creative vision

Roll-up-your-sleeves resourcefulness

Relentless enthusiasm

Integrity

Servant leadership

I earned a Masters in Arts Administration from Columbia University Teachers College and a Bachelors in Studio Art from Skidmore College with Honors in Art. I've studied at Cornell, Yale, and New York University.

Note: This list is not exhaustive. If your identifier is not listed here, you are not excluded. There is no one term that embodies the variety of disciplines in which one can be creative or describes the person creating it.

Folks involved in the creative process self-identify, preferring to call themselves and their professional title(s) or field-affiliation(s) what makes sense to them and to which community they feel a part of.

Their "title" can change based on a hybrid career, multiple talents, and opportunity-driven gigs or side projects.
