Multi-disiplinary Artist, Educator & Arts Administrator
Shanqiue Peart, Founder
Shanique Peart is a first-generation, Afro-Canadian, multidisciplinary artist, educator, and arts administrator based in Kingston, Ontario. With a background in dance, photography, performance, and storytelling, her work explores the intersections of movement, identity, and environment.
Shanique’s exploratory essence led her to become a self-taught dancer. Since then, she has explored and become versed in Hip-Hop, Freestyle, Dancehall, Afro Fusion, Modern, and Urban Contemporary styles.
Rooted in collaboration and inspired by community, Shanique blends artistic disciplines to craft stories that reflect shared experiences and collective memory. Through vibrant compositions, she seeks to foster connection and evoke emotion.
Beyond performance, she is actively involved in creative projects across theatre, education, film and arts administration, continuing to build spaces where art, culture, and community meet.

About TCC
Hello Everyone!
The Candid Creative Co. is a platform and business that highlights all of my artistic mediums and gives them a home. I wear many different hats within the thriving arts scene here in Kingston, ON. So, I thought it was time I became more Candid about my work, and my overall artistic journey. I hope to share more about my practice through my gallery, upcoming events and my social media.
Over the next couple of years, I hope to transform this platform into a production company. A place to create new works - not only for myself - but for other artists who may not have many resources, physical space, or training opportunities; similar to the beginning of my artistic journey.
I look forward to collaborating and meeting you all!
Candidly,
The Candid Creative
