The moment Nadia stepped through SPARK! Dallas’s doors as a Booker T. Washington High School student, something clicked — it wasn’t just the whimsical installations or the buzz of creative energy — it was the feeling that she’d found an artistic home.
That initial visit planted a seed that would bloom into something extraordinary. Together, with her fellow student artists, Nadia transformed her own creative vision into a PRISMATIC exhibit. Her bold color choice and fearless approach to design didn’t just catch visitors’ attention—they caught the eye of SPARK!’s leadership team, who recognized a rising star.
Now, as a first-generation college student at the University of North Texas, she’s blazing trails with a double focus in both art and the business of art.
She’s also a part-time staff member – making the move from being inspired to becoming the inspiration, showing young artists that creativity isn’t just about making beautiful things—it’s about making beautiful futures possible.
Witness Nadia’s remarkable journey in the video below and see how SPARK! continues to ignite the creative flame in Dallas’s next generation of artistic pioneers!
