Susanna Crum lives and works in Louisville, Kentucky, where she nurtures spaces of solidarity and exchange through teaching, collaborations, community-based research, and urban gardening. As cofounder of Calliope Arts, she provides a shared workspace that supports emerging and professional artists working in print media, and as a visual arts teacher at Kentucky Country Day School, she also helps young people build foundations as lifelong learners. Crum’s work in printmaking, drawing, and sculpture investigates archival traces of print culture—from maps and globes to advertisements and illustrations—as messages to the future. Her artwork has been featured at museum exhibitions, universities, and galleries throughout the U.S. and abroad, and she has attended residencies at institutions such as Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, California, and KH Messen in Ålvik, Norway.
