#WhatLiftsYou Pompano
Artist: Kelsey Montague
Kelsey Montague creates large scale, interactive street art designed for people to become ‘living works of art.’ Kelsey believes that art shouldn’t be separated from the human experience, instead the human experience should help create the art itself. Her hashtag, #WhatLiftsYou encourages people to post about what inspires them on social media. She is thrilled to create a custom set of wings for Pompano Beach. These wings are filled with images that represent the area including: honey bees, ocean life and an ode to the shipwreck diving off the coast.
Kelsey is most known for her large scale, interactive street murals around the world. Each piece provides an opportunity for people to step into the work and become a 'living work of art.' Participants are encouraged to post pictures of the work, and their interaction with it, on social media under the hashtag #whatliftsyou. Thousands of people have participated in an online discussion about what inspires them in their lives. This art has been featured by Forbes. Entertainment Weekly, MTV. Buzzfeed, Refinery 29, Mashable, Taylor Swift and The Smithsonian.
