About Kelsey Montague Art

Kelsey is one of very few artists who are exploring how public art, interactive art and social media intersect. She believes that art should not be separated from the human experience. Instead the human experience should have a hand in creating the art itself. In an effort to achieve this goal Kelsey created the #WhatLiftsYou campaign. She has been creating large scale, interactive street murals around the world. Each piece provides an opportunity for people to become a living work of art’ by stepping into an art piece that ‘lifts you up.’ Participants are then encouraged to post pictures with the work on social media under the hashtag #WhatLiftsYou. In 2018 Kelsey started to design products with similar themes and styles as her international murals around the world. Whether you're looking for notebooks, puzzles, stickers or pins Kelsey has designed stunning products for gift shops around the country. Her art has been mentioned in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The New York Times and by Taylor Swift. Kelsey has done street art work in New York City, LA, Buenos Aires, Sydney, Hong Kong, San Jose, London and Cape Town. With over 139,000 followers Kelsey uses her Instagram (@KelseyMontagueArt) to explore how art should lift us up on a daily basis. Read their story
