Kelly Seward, DIrector of Business Programs
My best arts memory… Being a student guard at KU’s Spencer Museum and touching all of the art when no one else was around.
A quote I love… "I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few." - William Morris
My favorite artist is… Impossible to answer but I’ve always had a soft spot for German Expressionists and outsider art.
I am inspired by… All art. Good, bad, and ugly. My inspiration comes from people’s innate desire to create, not necessarily the success of the outcome.
As the Director of Business Programs, Kelly Seward coordinates
