The Responsibility of Public Art | Nico Cathcart | TEDxYouth@RVA

As a muralist, Nico Cathcart sees the world as her canvas. She uses her art and its locations to challenge some of today’s biggest social issues. Nico encourages us to not take anything for granted because we never know when something crucial can be taken from us. She shows that with persistence, we are capable of overcoming even the greatest hardships. Nico Cathcart is a painter, signmaker, and muralist hailing from Toronto, Ontario, who strives to discuss Feminism, Minority Empowerment, and Conservation in her highly-colorful works. She is currently creating and adventuring in the southern wilds of Richmond, VA. Her work has been shown in many galleries and museums throughout the continent, including the MASS MOCA, Gallery 5, Glave Kocen, 1979 Gallery in Rochester, NY, La Bodega Gallery in San Diego, District Local Gallery in Vancouver, and many more. She holds a dual BFA in Painting and Ceramics from SUNY Cortland. She is an active muralist, with work in the Richmond Street Art Festival, Wall Therapy, Spirit Walls in Pittsburgh, and the Richmond Tattoo and Arts Festival as well as many businesses and restaurants throughout the area.
