Cathie Kelsey Art Gallery

Cathie Kelsey Art Gallery 

Recently, Iliff School of Theology celebrated the grand opening of the Cathie Kelsey Art Gallery, named in honor of our former Dean of the Faculty and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs.

In collaboration with curator and designer Nicole Longnecker, the inaugural exhibition, Together We Rise, brings together artists across disciplines—from painting and sculpture to ceramics, illustration, photography, and printmaking.

Featuring exclusively Latino artists, the exhibition explores the visual diaspora of identity, culture, and lived experience. While each artist brings a distinct creative voice, their work collectively tells powerful stories that invite reflection on unity, resilience, and perseverance.

Current Exhibition: Together We Rise

“Together We Rise” is an exhibition featuring artists from various disciplines, including painters, sculptors, ceramicists, illustrators, photographers, and printmakers. All are tied together by a common thread: they are Latino artists exploring the visual diaspora of concepts that shape their unique experiences. A key component of the exhibition is a heightened emphasis on community, serving as a beacon of light and hope. Although each artist utilizes their own individual creative methods, together they document and narrate their stories in a manner that initiates a conversation of unity and perseverance.
