ABOUT ME

Hi Friend! My heart is dancing at the milagro that brought you here. 

My name is Naomi Fierro Peña (she/her/ella), and I am the Founder & CEO of That Art Party, art and play for BIPOC adults. 

I love astrology and spending quality time with my wife and dogson, Panchito. I am a millennial born and raised in San Francisco, California to a family of Mexican immigrants. I left my full time job as an educator after years of dancing my way through the oppressive systems seeking to confine my light.

The Bay Area taught me a love for art, an appreciation for what makes us weird, & a natural inclination to get hella hyphy.  My ancestors & elders taught me to hustle hard, and to play even harder.  And in true Aquarius style, I seek out the unconventional and aspire to longevity, hope, and healing. 

That Art Party is an amalgamation of all the things that make me - and perhaps us - human.  I started this experience as an altar to the inner child who was forced to grow up too soon, to problem-solve the world, and to serve everyone else before herself. I see you. As a queer, woman of color, I started That Art Party as a sacred space to honor our need for creative rest. BIPOC adults deserve art. We deserve to play.

Art and play are not a luxury, nor do they belong to whiteness. Ritualizing art and play is how we move from surviving to thriving. We are art, and we deserve safe spaces to relish in it. Join me to see what comes of our radical curiosity as we play through the seasons and make art along the way.

Our curiosity & creativity has the power to heal. 

CEO and Founder, Naomi Fierro Peña (she, her, ella)
