Progress Playbook

At the Renaissance Summit, Danielle M. Chery, artist and founder of revealed a one-of-a-kind piece that captured the spirit of our theme: Build Your Business & Your Block.

Using donated tiles from a local tile-making factory and her signature epoxy resin technique,
Danielle constructed a reimagined NYC skyline layered with meaning by embedding real newspaper clippings about entrepreneurship, community, and access to resources.

The detail in Danielle’s work powerfully conveys that building something strong and lasting takes time, effort, and intention. This piece is a tribute to the dreamers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers shaping their neighborhoods and businesses from the ground up.

We’re deeply grateful to Danielle for contributing this powerful piece to our summit. To continue supporting her artistic journey and ongoing success follow her
