Bringing Islamic Art to a store near you 

Peace and blessings, everyone. I'm Kelly Izdihar Crosby, an emerging Muslim artist and owner of Kelly Crosby Design.  I specialize in many different types of artwork but my love is in creating modern Islamic arts and crafts for our community.  I've been selling my work at shows and fairs for many years.  But now I want to take my arts company to the next level.  

I want to pitch my artwork to all the major box chain retailers at this year's Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market.  This annual show, presented by America's Mart, brings in major retailers from around the world to check out the latest trends by emerging and established designers.  My aim is to present and pitch my wares to these retailers so that my Islamic art offerings will be available in major retail chain outlets.  

Promoting Muslim American Arts and Culture

Whether you're  in China, West Africa or in the heart of Mecca, Muslims have always cultivated traditions of melding our local artistic practices with the timeless aesthetics of Islam.  For Muslim Americans, we are contributing to this legacy by adding our own modern interpretations to Islamic art.  

As a Muslim artist, I'm happy and proud to be a part of a budding Muslim American Arts movement; creative people who are using the universal message of art to teach others about the beauty and diversity of Islam.  I offer paintings, glass vases, pottery and decorative boxes inspired by my love of Muslim cultures from around the world. 

In this current climate of anti-Muslim sentiment and hysteria, we can show others the beauty of Islam while offering a beautiful, budget-friendly product to the discerning, crafts-loving consumer.  

Support Muslim Artists

You can help by supporting me as an emerging artist vendor at this year's convention.  Most of the money raised is toward the purchase of the booth space along with set-up fees, supplies, equipment, transportation and marketing materials.  I'm currently self-funding all of my projects but with your help, we can make this happen!
