KEYS TO CURES®

Creative encounters designed to engage and unlock complex ideas in science and medicine.

The back and forth between art and science opens up new ways to approach and understand topics of critical importance. As an artist collaborator Kelly engages communities in the process of expressing science and medicine through art. Each Imagination Collaboration® project is a unique encounter. The process is applicable to internal and external programs in a range of settings. Kelly has worked with scientific organizations, medical foundations, patient/advocacy communities and most recently a biotech startup with Keys to Cures®. To discuss how imagination collaboration could work in your organization or company please reach out to Kelly with an email introducing the topic, challenge or audience that you seek to creatively engage.

“When first informed by Intarcia about collaborating with their in-house artist, I was grateful to be able to design in the pieces vs having them occur incidentally about the space irrespective of the architecture. Typically clients will add artwork after we leave and the pieces are divorced from the appropriate lighting, curatorial placement and irreverent to the architecture. Once I met the artist and became familiar with her work and her dedication to have the architecture and artwork become one, this led to one of the most joyous professional experiences of my career. The ability to specify the lighting, provide architectural moments where artwork could live an ultimately have the artwork perform in the space to the same degree as the architecture, has led to an unexpected experience both for me as a design professional but more importantly for the end user that is enveloped in the environment. The space feels like an art gallery where people work and provides an emotional value atypically found in such workplaces.”
Vincenzo Giambertone, Architect
