Renee Rolleri (Board Chairman; Co-Founder) received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from Parsons School of Design in 1992, a master's in Art Therapy from Pratt University in 2001, and is currently enrolled at New York University in the Doctor of Philosophy in Visual Culture and Education Program with a special focus on child development and art therapy. Since completing her graduate degree in art therapy, Renee has worked with the Joan Fenichel Therapeutic Nursery School, the NYU Child Study Center, the Jewish Board for Family Services and the Partnership for After School Education both as a clinician and as an art therapist. Inspired by the joy of working with children and families and becoming a parent herself, Renee co-founded the Blue Man Creativity Center with her husband Matt Goldman and partners Jen and Chris Wink in an effort to bring the unique qualities that Blue Man Group has to offer children and families into an educational environment.

Jen Graffam Wink (Board Vice Chairman; Co-Founder) Originally from coastal Maine, Jen moved to New York City to attend Barnard College where she majored in Modern Art History with a concentration in Visual Arts. After working in a directorial role with Blue Man Group and as a designer at the Village Voice (where her editorial design earned the newspaper a 1997 Society of Publication Designers' editorial design award) Jen went on to open her own New York City graphic design studio, Utility Design. In subsequent years, she was awarded the 2000 Ace Award for excellence in graphic design and has had her work published in numerous design anthologies and periodicals. After scaling back professionally to become a mother, it was her search for a worthy, resonant educational path for her children that brought her lifelong pursuit of creative expression and collaboration back to the fore: in 2006, Jen co-founded the Blue Man Creativity Center with partners Renee, Matt and husband Chris.

Matt Goldman (Board Treasurer; Co-Founder) Matt attended Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he received a Bachelor's Degree in Economics followed by a Masters Degree in Business Administration/Marketing.

He remained there seven years, producing educational and business software packages for clients that included CBS, Simon & Schuster, Grolier, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Bantam Books and Prodigy. While at Omni, Matt formed a partnership with longtime friends Chris Wink and Phil Stanton. The three created Blue Man Group, which opened Off-Broadway at the Astor Place Theatre in 1991 and continues to play there today. Throughout their long association, Matt, Chris and Phil have been fascinated by the interconnections between learning, creativity and community and how, combined with new teaching techniques, the educational experience can be enhanced. It is this interest that led them to start the Blue Man Creativity Center.
