Alum accepted for second Olympian Artist Program
In a recent article for MSU today, Kelly Salchow MacArthur shares how her connections with the Olympics and rowing have shaped her work as a designer and advocate for environmental awareness.
Salchow MacArthur competed with the U.S. National Women’s Rowing Team at the Olympics in Sydney, Australia, in 2000 and in Athens, Greece, in 2004, placing fifth both times. Additionally, she is a two-time participant in the Olympian Artists program, launched in 2018 as a way for Olympians and Paralympians to share their experiences as athletes and artists on a global platform. Most recently through the program, Salchow MacArthur was an artist in residence working with Parisian children on a collage project showcasing Olympic values.
