“I believe it is my duty as an artist to give back and engage the community on an aesthetic and intellectual level that is accessible to all populations.” 

Through community advocacy and art practice, Rivers works to increase access to art education and exhibition spaces for people of color. Rivers is an active arts educator who has worked across Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. and Columbia, S.C. Rivers’ project-based studio practice is centered around youth art programs, social impact art projects, school murals, and education workshops.
