Sika Foyer Studio

About

Sika Foyer Studio is a hybrid creative and consulting practice rooted in the belief that art, equity, and economic development must intersect to build just and vibrant communities. Founded by Sika Foyer, a Togolese-American artist, educator, and former real estate finance officer, the studio brings together more than 15 years of expertise across public-private development, community engagement, and interdisciplinary visual art.

With a background managing over $5 billion in real estate portfolios and a deep commitment to cultural storytelling, Sika Foyer Studio bridges technical knowledge and artistic vision to activate spaces, histories, and human potential. Foyer's work has been featured in academic journals, exhibitions, and civic programs across the U.S. and internationally.

Through drawings, sculpture, performance, and public workshops, the studio explores African oral traditions, diasporic memory, and the ritual of wrapping, reframing these elements as both aesthetic expressions and tools for healing, protection, and transformation.

The studio also supports artists, nonprofits, municipalities, and developers in advancing equitable initiatives by offering consulting services in real estate finance, program design, grant strategy, and creative placemaking.

Mission

To use the power of art, finance, and community storytelling to transform spaces, restore narratives, and support culturally-rooted development.

We are committed to creating and supporting work that uplifts marginalized voices, fosters cross-cultural dialogue, and builds bridges between creativity, economy, and equity.

Vision

We envision a future where:

  • Artists are recognized as architects of societal change.

  • Cultural knowledge is integrated into policy, planning, and investment.

  • Communities are not displaced but empowered by development.

  • Wrapping - as symbol, gesture, and method - becomes a metaphor for protection, connection, and reimagining.
