Portrait by Rob Williamson

 

Opie Project (space) was founded by artist, curator, and program director, Kelsey Issel. It is named after the Greek goddess of epic poetry (and her great aunt), Calliope, who, as part of the Muses, was said to inspire the arts, sciences and storytelling. Issel’s mission is to make (space) in the world for just that: Artists to continue to create, so that humanity has the inspiration to evolve.

Issel is also the co-founder of She Bends Neon
