Biography of founder
After graduating from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX with a BFA in Art History and Studio Art, Nicole Henry was granted a treasury license from the U.S. government in 2001 to travel to Cuba and bring back Cuban Art. After amassing a large Cuban Collection, Henry opened her first Art Gallery in 2006 in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. In 2011, she moved her gallery to West Palm Beach where she still operates today.
Nicole has raised over $1,250,000 for local charities over the past 3 years, and is an active member of the local community and involved with the organization, Place of Hope. She co-chaired their gala in 2013, was the honorary co-chair in 2014 and now sits on the Business board for the organization.
In 2015 Henry started her own 501(c)(3) called CANVAS Art Charities, a non-profit organization funding the visual arts to enrich the community through public installations, exhibitions, education and events. The organization held the annual CANVAS Outdoor Museum Show in Downtown West Palm Beach, November 8–22, where over 18 site-specific installations and large-scale murals were created around Downtown, West Palm Beach on select buildings and infrastructure in various locations, including the City Hall Courtyard, Royal Park Bridge, Fern Street, and The Whitney., adding over $1,000,000 in public art to West Palm Beach’s landscape.
