Editor's Pick: Montgomery Fellow Lecture

“Art Irritates Life: Politics and Stuff People Actually Care About”

Steve Kelley ’81 will be on campus as a Montgomery Fellow Feb. 18 through 22, and will deliver a public lecture, “Art Irritates Life: Politics and Stuff People Actually Care About,” on Feb. 19. Kelley’s stay on campus concludes the Montgomery Fellow winter series, America in 2008: Commentators and Cartoonists, following National Public Radio Senior Correspondent Juan Williams and cartoonist Roz Chast.

Kelley’s political cartoons are distributed by Creators Syndicate to more than 100 newspapers and magazines around the country. A Pulitzer Prize finalist in the editorial cartooning category in 1999, Kelley’s cartoons have won the National Headliner Award, the Best of The West competition, and the Los Angeles Press Club award, among others. An exhibition of Kelley’s work is currently on display in the Hopkins Center.
