Alexandra (Alex) Schoenberg

Creative Director

Alex was trained as an architect before receiving her MFA from Montclair State University in 2014. She is one of the partners in Artgang, an art collaborative located in East Orange NJ. Artgang is part of a larger community of over sixty artists located in the historic Manufacturers Village, a Victorian industrial complex in East Orange, NJ. 

Manufacturers Village Artists in collaboration with Liquitex, the Arts Council of East Orange (ACEO), Pink Dragon Artists Syndicate and 16 local artists, recently completed a 9000 square foot community mural honoring Black Lives Matter. The mural is the largest public art installation in the city of East Orange.

In addition to their own artistic undertakings, Artgang, with the sponsorship of Liquitex, provides affordable studio space through a residency program to emerging artists. Artgang currently operates 14 studio spaces in Manufacturers Village. Ms. Schoenberg is CHP’s artist/architect in residence and will oversee the design and creation of Caring Hands installations. She will work with artists whose preferred media and/or artistic approach is appropriate for the Caring Hands Project and gives CHP access to a pool of talent we would not otherwise be able to reach.
