Iris M Even holds a B.F.A. in Sculpture from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. Upon graduation, she became a Professional Tutor for UArts, assisting students with all academic courses offered by the university. Simultaneously, she embarked on a career in arts administration, working with galleries, schools and foundations, including The American Philosophical Society and Samuel L. Fleisher Art Memorial, on exhibitions, exiting materials and public relations. Soon thereafter, Ms. Even moved to New York to teach on set for On Location Education and, eventually, for private families through The School for Young Performers. She continued to pursue exhibition and publication projects for artists, such as Enrique Martínez Celaya and Jacob Collins, but felt drawn to education and helping students with realizing their goals, however audacious, complex or, seemingly, insurmountable. As such, she began to consult on academic workshops and rare queries for On Location Education, which eventually led to her current position as Head of School for The School for Young Performers.
