About the Juror:

Kelsey Issel is an artist and curator living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. Issel first sunk her teeth into the greater art scene, producing one of the first independent and affordable art fairs, based out of Brooklyn, called Fountain Art Fair. Living in the Bay Area, Issel worked for a private collection manager for many years until meeting Jeff Whitmore, founder of The Midway Project. Together, in 2014, they founded and directed, Artbeats, a 3-day art happening at SF's historic Pier 70 building, honoring the roots of Fountain as an accessible art fair for the public to engage with independent artists and galleries alike. In 2015, Kelsey took on the role as Art Director at The Midway Creative Complex to develop their two gallery spaces and artist in residency program with a focus on interdisciplinary art.
