Jerron Herman is an artist compelled to create images of freedom.

Jerron revels in being a working artist. His highlights include activating museums like The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cooper Hewitt Design Museum and Guggenheim (his “Museum Mile” tour) with daring interdisciplinary installations across 2023-24. He is blissfully a part of INTERIM, a boutique centering joy for disabled artists that includes Molly Joyce, Christopher Unpezverde Núñez, and is led by his artistic partner, sister-friend, and co-muse Candace L. Feldman. Accolades include a 2025-26 AIR at Movement Research, 2024 USA Fellowship, 2023 Visiting Artist for FokusTanz #10 Kampnagel, 2023-24 Fellowship at NYU/Center for Ballet and the Arts, 2022 Residency at the European Ceramics Work Centre (EKWC), 2021 Grants to Artists Award from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, 2021 Jerome Hill Fellowship in Dance from the Jerome Foundation, and a 2020 Disability Futures Fellowship.

Jerron’s voice blossomed in 2019, a banner year for the artist, boasting world premieres at Danspace Project, Performance Space NY, and The Whitney Museum. This was also the year Jerron joined the Art & Disability Cohort, helmed by artist, curator, and ferocious friend Ezra Benus, which supported his transition into solo and interdisciplinary endeavors. The cohort included luminaries Finnegan Shannon, Jeff Kasper, Kevin Quilles-Bonilla, Madison Zalapony, and Jordana Bernstein. The crew regularly hosts reunions and outdoor hangs. Jerron also joined the collective IWBWYE alongside greats Amalie Dublon, Park McArthur, Carolyn Lazard, Alice Sheppard, and Constantina Zavitsanos to lead solstice events and crip studies. These experiences were foundational for Jerron and meaningfully realized his connection to his people and the art world.

Jerron has also held several positions in service to the field. From 2021-2025, Jerron was an advisor for NEFA National Dance Project and served on the Board of Trustees at Dance/USA from 2017-2023, including as Vice Chair. He’s been a Selection Committee member for the NY Performing Arts “Bessie’s” Awards and also served on panels for NYSCA, Dance/NYC, The Lark, Eyebeam, and Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation. As a curator, Jerron facilitated the series Access Check 2.0: Mapping Accessibility for the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation. Also in 2021 he developed a speaking series for the Joyce Theater called Discourse: Disabled Artists at the Joyce, bringing together NYC-based disabled artists to showcase their work across three distinct conversations.

Jerron’s artistry is guided by interdisciplinary experiences such as gracing exhibitions for 1969 Gallery (Chella Man’s Pure Joy), LOMAA Ontario, and ICAPhiladelphia (Carolyn Lazard’s Long Take). Jerron was also the choreographer and co-director of Sensorium Ex, a new opera by Paola Prestini. In addition, his writings on arts and culture have been published in the US and internationally and his play, 3 Bodies, appears in Theater Magazine’s May/June 2022 issue.

Jerron has also been featured as a model for Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Chromat, and FFORA campaigns. In 2025, he partnered with designer Julian Louie of AUBERO to compete in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Challenge, the duo winning first runner up. He serves as an Ambassador for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation and regularly works with designers and artisans to realize fresh perspectives on beauty.

From 2011-2019 Jerron was a core member of Heidi Latsky Dance, with featured performances at Lincoln Center, ADF, and abroad in Greece and Armenia; in tandem he served as Development Director from 2017-2019. He’s also been a guest artist for Stephen Petronio Company, Monica Bill Barnes & Co, Circle O, Kinetic Light and others. Jerron has guest lectured at Columbia, The New School, NYU, Harvard University and was the Artist/Scholar in Residence at Georgetown. He was also a visiting choreographer for Mark Morris Dance Group’s Student Company. He studied Playwriting at NYU/Tisch School of the Arts and received a B.A. from The King’s College. A Bay Area native, Jerron owes his sustained wonderment to a delicious upbringing that was filled with love, exposure, faith, and joy in the Herman household.
