My name is Maya Simone. I am an interdisciplinary performance-based artist based in New York City. I build community as a producer, facilitator and educator supporting Black, queer + trans people of color that create and envision radical futures.
I am available for collaborations and inquiries.

My work is non-linear and evolving. I am driven by a desire to listen and learn from the stories of my Black family, kin, and ancestors. Together, we are writing the next chapter of this artistic journey. Thank you for engaging and witnessing this work.

Interdisciplinary Artist
I’ve worked as a professional artist for over three years. As an emerging artist, I have performed in multiple venues in solo works and collaborations. I employ movement, writing, sound, video, installation and performance to develop work. Let’s work together!
Producer & Art Administrator
I support emerging, mid-career and established artists develop clarity in sustainable ways so they can focus on their artistic practice. My work includes: producing, project management, event planning, administrative support, grant writing, media kit preparation, and more. Let’s work together!
Facilitator + Educator
I’ve worked and partnered with individual artists, arts collectives, and organizations to prepare, lead and facilitate educational workshops including Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in non-profit spaces in addition to strategic planning & visioning workshops, improvisational movement, children’s creative writing, individual coaching, and more. Let’s work together!
