Kent Kelley: in conversation with Folasade Ologundudu

Everything Is Connected

On this episode I'm joined by Kent Kelley. I met Kent Kelley for the first time a couple years ago through Anwarii Musa who was on a recent episode. Kent comes from the financial world and has worked as a CFO for many years. He recently started collecting art and currently sits on the board of the High Museum in Atlanta. Kent was a big part of an article I wrote for Artnet highlighting the incredible things that are happening on the Atlanta art scene.

Kent shared with me some of the amazing things that have been happening in Atlanta and some of the key stakeholders who are a part of the vibrant art community there. The Spelman Symposium was in full swing when Kent and I sat down to talk about his interest in the arts, how he got started collecting and some of the things that he's most excited about in his art collecting journey.
