Kerry's Story
Kerry W. Sullivan joined DeltaARTS as executive director in 2024, but her connection to the organization started years before when she was an educator looking to enhance her student’s experiences by integrating art into their projects. By reaching out to DeltaARTS she connected with local teaching artists who could incorporate dance, acting, photography, and creative writing into the classroom.
Kerry’s career as an educator spanned six states and twelve schools, where she developed leadership skills and served community needs through connecting people and promoting human-centered design service learning. As an artist, Kerry changes mediums often- particularly loving ceramics, mixed media, and precious metals. She comes from a long line of metalsmiths and enjoys spending her time off with a torch in her hand.
Kerry’s love for the Arkansas Delta stems from her time living along the lower Mississippi River and soaking up all the culture and history it has to offer. She considers West Memphis to be a prime location for economic development and the people to be some of the most open to innovation she has ever worked with.
Contact Kerry to pick her brain about arts integration, community development, or just how to plug in to the amazing community DeltaARTS fosters. She look forward to serving you and expanding the impact of DeltaARTS.
