About

 

Sheena D. Robertson is an educational consultant, director, and arts leader whose work lives at the intersection of learning, creativity, and social justice. For nearly three decades, she has created and led experiences that bring people together—across classrooms, rehearsal studios, and community spaces—using the arts as a catalyst for connection, voice, and change.

 

Rooted in her early teaching years in Regent Park, Sheena’s practice is grounded in relationship-building, inquiry, and community collaboration. As a director and producer, she develops multidisciplinary arts projects that amplify lived experience and collective storytelling, including large-scale initiatives that engage artists, educators, and young people in meaningful creative work.

​

Her leadership extends beyond projects to people and systems. She is recognized as an expert in arts leadership, with a focus on reshaping organizational culture within the arts sector toward equity, collaboration, and sustainability.

 

Alongside her artistic leadership, Sheena mentors new and early-career educators and collaborates with schools and communities to design arts-integrated, inquiry-driven learning that is both imaginative and practical. She is the Artistic Director of Kick Start Arts, where her work remains deeply connected to the realities, challenges, and joys of working with students and communities.

 

Across all her work, Sheena is guided by a commitment to equity, curiosity, and the belief that creativity is essential to learning—and to building more just and connected communities.
