Kate Murray Email & Phone Number

As Founder of Unfine Arts, Kate currently supports the important work of multiple non-profit and for-profit companies by way of freelance work and pro-bono services in hiring, operations optimization, graphic design, development, and more. She is a facilitator through and through, comfortable driving vision into action in a variety of settings and circumstances.She has spent the past seven years working in the non-profit and arts realms. Most recently she served as the Managing Director of local non-profit Golden Hornet, working alongside composer-bandleader Graham Reynolds as Artistic Director and wearing at least seven hats at any given moment, from facilitating a meeting with young composers to producing full-scale performances at the infamous Bellas Artes in Mexico City. In two and a half years the organization's budget grew by 326%.Between June 2016 and March 2017, she lived on two wheels, riding a motorcycle from Alaska to Antarctica (you can see the journey on Instagram @mototraverse). Along the way, she visited with educators, artists, makers, and storytellers of all kinds. She is invigorated by all forms of learning and collaboration, and is particularly driven by efforts focused on equity and social justice.With Texas Folklife, she has brought in over $400k in grants in ten months, as well as brought tele-arts and advocacy engagement to life with a range of cultural communities. At the Thinkery, she spent time teaching (and learning from) 8 to 12 year olds in a maker space, tinkering with circuits, sewing machines, soldering irons, storytelling, and more...Between 2011 and 2015, Kate spent time studying, living, and working in Uganda and Rwanda, exploring critiques of the aid industry and gaining a new worldview. It was in sharing dinner with her homestay families every night that she began her education in anti-racism, which remains an ongoing effort. Along the way, she has become passionate about humanizing global interactions and connecting narratives back to the voices of their subjects -- whether that is conveyed as an educator, through written word, in a podcast or broadcast, as an archivist, or through interactive art and engaging spaces.Most importantly, human interaction is Kate's favorite artistic medium. She excels at turning visions into actionable timelines, thrives on creating administrative processes for optimum performance, and works hard to ensure that all members of a team feel not only heard, but valued.
