Kallie Cassidy is a New York–based interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the interplay between structure and fluidity in everyday life. Through spatial forms and process-driven practices, she investigates how routine, intimacy, and the body intersect, engaging with themes of transformation, impermanence, and the subtle forces that shape lived experience.
Cassidy earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Practices, graduating summa cum laude, and a Bachelor of Arts in Art History, magna cum laude, from Marymount Manhattan College in May 2025. She received Gold Key Awards in both disciplines and was honored with the Robert W. Ligon and Evelyn M. Ligon History Award in 2024 for her essay on Joan Semmel and Walt Whitman. In 2023, her sculpture An Object for Viewing was presented 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 ongoing It’s a Happening: Arts in The Judy showcase (2023 – 2025). In May 2025, she debuted her first solo exhibition, Kallie Cassidy: Rituals and Ruptures, at the Hewitt Gallery of Art.
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, she 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, in collaboration with Professor Hallie Cohen.
Starting in Fall 2025, Cassidy will pursue her MFA in Sculpture at Brooklyn College, where she looks forward to deepening her studio practice and expanding the research that underpins her work.
