Kallie Cassidy is a New York–based interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the interplay between structure and fluidity in everyday life. Through sculpture and installation, she investigates how materiality, routine, intimacy, and the body converge—delving into themes of transformation, impermanence, and the subtle forces that shape lived experience.

Cassidy is currently completing a BFA in Studio Practices and a BA in Art History at Marymount Manhattan College, where she has received Gold Keys in both disciplines. In 2024, she was awarded the Robert W. Ligon and Evelyn M. Ligon History Award for her essay on Joan Semmel and Walt Whitman. That year prior, she presented her sculpture An Object for Viewing at the college’s 46th Annual Honors Day Colloquium.

Her work has been featured in several exhibitions at MMC, including Echoing Identities: Light and Form (2024), Mind, Body, Spirit: A Collection (2024), and the annual It’s a Happening: Arts in The Judy showcase (2023–2025). In May 2025, she will debut her first solo exhibition, Kallie Cassidy: Rituals and Ruptures, at the Hewitt Gallery of Art, the college’s on-campus exhibition space.

Outside the college, Cassidy’s sculpture Apricity (2024) was featured in Shardeology: Making with the Future in Mind, curated by Eric Lawrence at The Factory in Long Island City, NY.

In addition to her artistic practice, Cassidy has contributed to several curatorial projects, including co-curating MAKING VISIBLE: Migration and Identity (2023) and The Body Politic: Women, Earth, and the Environment (2025) at the Hewitt Gallery of Art, in collaboration with Professor Hallie Cohen, who oversees the gallery’s curatorial initiatives.

This fall, Cassidy will begin her MFA in Sculpture at Brooklyn College, where she will further develop both her creative practice and academic research.
