Jade Meyers/ THEARTISTJADE (August 29, 1991 -) native of New Orleans, Louisiana; Visual/Performing Artist & Entrepreneur.
Jade began her journey in creativity at age seven. It was suggested that she be evaluated for the Talented in Visual Arts (TAV) program at John Dibert Elementary School in New Orleans. After being accepted, her parents immediately acknowledged that art would be a part of her life forever, so they kept the door open for all opportunities of advancement. Since then, she has mastered the ability of pulling audiences into her creative parade, through her own unique interpretations of the world!
Jade received her Bachelor of Arts degree in the fall of 2013 from Southern University and A&M, and created an art based company, “J A D E 1 9 9 1” shortly after. In 2016 she was selected to design a mural for Chevrolet, for the ESSENCE Street Style Block Party in New York. Amongst participating in varied art events and creative directing, Jade curated her first exhibition Next Generation of FIYAH!, in 2017 at Southern University. She premiered her solo exhibit “CWYC | Control What You Consume” in 2018.
Jade was the featured artist in the “My Black Is Beautiful” part-art installation for the 2019 ESSENCE festival, and one of the selected artists to recreate salvaged backboards for the 2021 “NOLA HAS WIIINGS” project in conjunction with Red Bull, and the New Orleans Pelicans. Singer/ Performer Dawn Richard selected Jade to collaborate with Adult Swim and Living Walls to create her very first Mural. As of late she has created murals for JAMNOLA and was selected to be the first muralist for WK Kellogg’s #IAMNEWORLEANS campaign. She was also selected for NIKE’s Join Forces campaign to commemorate the Air Force 1 sneaker. Jade also works on various live event and television productions.
She plans to continue the journey of globalizing her gifts through the arts and philanthropy.
“My passion for art is unexplainable. I am able to create my own world without consent. That is the ultimate freedom.”
