Hi! I’m Kate Murray.

I am interested in everything, most especially how it all connects.

I’m an experience designer, a producer, a facilitator, a social practitioner, a conduit, a tinkerer, a maker, a memory worker, an educator, a traveler, a lowercase-a artist on the never ending quest to become an Uppercase-A Artist, and (obviously) a person who likes to wiggle out of singular ways of thinking and being.

I live and work to position culture and creativity as a driver for more just communities, with a long term interest in creative placekeeping (and placemaking). My favorite medium is human interaction. But I’ll readily take up any hands-on craft, too.

I’m particularly good at managing projects and people, and specialize in getting sh*t done… while simultaneously believing in the power of play and exclamation points!

All these traits and experiences coalesce and express themselves under the name Unfine Arts.

I’ve worn many hats that all fit on one rack.
